Font Suggestions for body text !!!

[Goldfinger]

I have to create a magazine for a project in college and i m really looking forward to find the best font IN THE WORLD lol to use for the body text.
My subject it has to do with internet/tech/digital/music so we are going into sans direction.

I like the sans typefaces who use the letter "g" in serif type if you know what i mean.

Thanks i m waiting for you comments and your suggestions :)

Do you mean like Gill Sans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill_Sans) where the g has an ear?

The Carolingian influence is noticeable in the two-story lowercase a, and g. The lowercase t is similar to old-style serifs in its proportion and oblique terminus of the vertical stroke.

Here's a list for ya. (http://www.identifont.com/list?1+id+0+2EB+12+NR+12+6DE+12+NT+12+MB+12+KO+12+ 55Y+12+55Z+12+561+12+565+12+567+12+O6+12+6FV+12+3P X+12+6HK+12+29R+12+64J+12+3PY+12+OP+12+6KD+12+7G0+ 12+WE+12+L6+12+WU+12+WY+12+7L3+12+XF+12+279+12+7B1 +11+FC+11)

I pretty much just entered 2 storey g and a, san serif into identifont and this is what it came back with.

thanks man !! but is it okay to use this kind of font for hi-tech magazine ???
i think it goes more circle-ish style like Futura or Avant Garde for technology magazine. What do you think ???

[budafist]

It depends on the magazine. I personally think Futura and Avant Garde are too round in my opinion. But that is just opinion. It's not design law. If you love Futura, you can make it work for you.

Make your own mind up.

Univers is a nice font....overused perhaps today, but I still use it, as it has been our font for part of our company brand. Its been nice text to use for our catalogs - specifications and info text. May work for your needs. I DO suggest choosing a font that has a large family variety though.
