hi there
i'm a first time poster. basically, just out of interest i was just wanting to know what body fonts you guys like to use. i use fruitiger, futura and helvetica lots (i use alot of sans serif fonts) and i'm getting a bit bored of those. can you guys tell me your favourite body fonts (preferably sans serif).
cheers

I like ITC Franklin Gothic for body copy.

Arial Narrow, 8 pt.
Seriously, though, I was going to mention Franklin Gothic as well.

I never tire of talking about fonts. I like Franklin Gothic too, it's one of my usuals.

The only thing about Franklin Gothic is the lower case "g" especially when you get 2 together or "gy"

but I prefer serifs, Sabon and Hoefler being goodies.

Sabon I can see, but Hoefler? >.< (LOL).
Hoefler does have a lot of good wingdings though.
A lot of my clients like Sabon.
They like 'The Sans' too. I don't really cuz there are too many of them.
Franklin Gothic is a biggy too. And for some reason, Rotis.

Hoefler works well, I like it's older historical feel. Text and Titling play well together. I like the choices in comes with. That is of course if you have the complete sets.
The ampersand on Rotis should be outlawed.....

Century Gothic is nice. I am a Futura freak though. Univers is also a staple.
