Solex Sans and Serif? Know something I don't know, Janine?
After nearly 15 years, FF Scala and FF Scala Serif are still at the top of my list.

Yeah, nevermind.

Thesis, by Lucas DeGroot. Nice full sets of sans & slab serifs, from extra light to black, small caps, etc...

Rotis, when used "correctly".
- blastofv0
I hear people dumping on Rotis all the time, and I have to admit I've used it in the past... but what's the correct way to use it? Elaboration?

I have no Idea, most of the time, I still think it looks as fresh as a newborn baby, but sometimes it looks like crap. It depends I guess, and this goes for almost all typefaces.

Apex is pretty nice

Apex is pretty nice in the light & mid-weight versions, but the bold & black look clumsy & poorly considered IMHO...
I wish that the guy that drew Caecilia would make a corresponding sans, or if he rly felt ambitious, maybe a true serif as well...

i agree with gramme about Apex. when i first saw it i was very excited, but then checked out the extra heavy weight (i have been wanting a sexy slab heavy for a while), and was turned off.

Gotham and Mercury (H&FJ) are not the same family, but play nicely together in my opinion.

Heh, just used Gotham in a logo and the client loved it. The boss went out for a meeting with them and when he came back just said, god thats an ugly font.
He used meta on another job for the same client even thought we are 'building their brand'.
Is it just me or is meta a wee bit on the ugly 90's side of things?
