I'm designing a portfolio for myself. I'm using Avenir for headers, titles etc. What is a good font for body/content to compliment avenir nicely?

Scala, used in the Band of Brothers intro:
- version30
design?
portfoilio?
advice?none of this jives with me turkey
- 7point340
futura
because you're a forward thinking, geometric sans-serif kind of guy

Avenir is pretty flexible in terms of how many serif faces it pairs with. It kinda depends on your personality and the overall style of your resume. Off the top of my head:
Minion
Arno Pro
Garamond
Baskerville
Farnham
Mercury...or just set the whole thing in various weights of Avenir.
- yeah depending on how much copy there is you could get away with using avenir.d_rek
- Although I find reading large amounts of copy set in geometric sans-serifs ->d_rek
- starts to weigh on the ol' peepers after a whiled_rek
- Avenir's a better call for text than Futura, hands down. I set an entire print campaign w/ longish brochure text in Avenir Next, reads great.Scotch_Roman
- Next, and it reads great.Scotch_Roman
- Avenir Next is much more readable.LOKi
