Hello

I am wondering if anybody can tell me a serif typeface that will replace ITC Charter nicely. I am looking for a Charter-like typeface.. thank advance for posting.

It will help to know:

  1. Why Charter isn't working for you.
  2. What styles you need (such as small caps, condensed, or weights beyond regular and bold).

If your issue are licensing restrictions, Bitstream provides the Basic cuts of Charter (the original version) under a very permissible license.

If you need a more extensive character set, Charis SIL might be of interest.

Wedge serifs is cool. Stephen, good list.
Also: Page, and the venerable Swift.

Wei, what's your budget?
