Reply To: What’s your personal favourite typeface?

I go with Garamond, Caslon and Jenson in the old style serifs, Myriad Pro, Hypatia, Futura and Gill Sans in the sans, and Sanvito, Bickham and Zapfino (the newer OpenType uber-version) in scripts. Minion, Mrs Eaves, Palatino and Optima are also high on my list.

As a matter of practicality, I tend to work with faces that give me a wide choice of weights, and I've become addicted to opticals in the last couple of years (Garamond Premier Pro is an awesome face to work with for many projects, for that reason).
