Hmmm...my favorite is...Metro. Oh wait, but I really really like Neutraface too. And Prokyon. Formata is nice too. Ooohh, I bet all of Gotham is pretty. Huh, I guess I'm a sans serif kinda girl. What's your favorite?

P.S. This is amazing.

thanks, friends!

excellent selections, katie. i love neutraface. it has a warm fuzzy place in my heart because i did my typography report on it. way cool history! i also really like rockwell, baskerville, trajan, and didot (all serifs). interesting that i chose those first, because i usually design with more simple sans serif (however, rockwell is what the call-outs are in my Spin magazine) :)

my all-time favorite font: helvetica neue, ultralight.

mmmm. :)

Very cool. I love lettering - did calligraphy for awhile (should do it again). Glad you found such a cool thing. And although you didn't create it, you discovered it - it's almost the same thing!
