If you had to chose five typefaces for use in your personal and professional work. Which five would you choose.
Also out of curiosity; which industry do you tend to work with most? (i.e., fashion, financial, medical etc...)

1. Gotham
2. Mercury (text & display)
3. Minion/ Minion Pro
4. Thesis
5. Garamond Premier ProRunners-up: Helvetica Neue, Bodoni, Caslon Pro, Franklin Gothic and Trade Gothic. There are a host of hybrids, scripts, etc., but the above are commonly used workhorses for me. I'd add National to that list, but don't own it yet. Got my eye on for 2009.
I work in the design/arts/architecture fields, restaurant, retail, publishing, B-2-B and non-profit.
