Create/Reject asked 50 leading designers about their current favorite typefaces. What a lovely book idea. Too bad it’s sold out! Would have loved to get my hands on one of these! Lovely to know that the coverprice all went to UNICEF!
What typeface would you have picked?
Currently loving Eurostile. Clean, modern, lovely.

i had to go do a font search for some of these but my favorite is the old school look of courier – visualizing someone pecking away on the keys of an old typewriter. also the really distressed courier is cool

Trade Gothic and Franklin Gothic. Always and forever . . . . the ‘g’s and the ‘a’s are the best.
And also Sabon for body text.
And sometimes Helvetica Ultra Light when I’m feeling classy.

New font: FF Tisa. A simple, clean little serif. Unassuming, but bold.
Classic font: Can’t go wrong with Futura.
Stand-by font: Always had a little something for Mrs. Eaves.

Bryant from Process is still rockin’ my world after Clarendon went frigid on me, revealing me for the two.point.ho that I am.
