Hi

I’m setting the body copy of a sunday supplement type magazine with Warnock pro, and would like a clean, fresh, understated sans serif to complement it. Ideally from the adobe opentype library??

What about using Cronos Pro Opticals?

Think I prefer Frutiger. Cronos feels a bit cheap?

Cheap? Cronos? Perhaps you just like rigidity over fluidity?

Perhaps... I’m not sure about the softer edge to it. My version is Cronos Pro - no opticals after it. Is is the same?

Cronos Pro Opticals has got more types (Caption, Subhead, Display); other than that Cronos Pro is the same.

Cronos Pro Opticals addresses Optical Sizing in the font design. If you notice, some of the details have been removed in the captions sizes.

I love Warnock and have used Franklin Gothic with it several times. I feel it is a clean look with nice contrasts, and since both fonts have many weights, it is very flexible.
