adobe garamond, it’s sophisticated, easy to read and the letterforms are just beautiful :)

If i had to decide this today – Lexicon (http://www.teff.nl/)
Tomorrow maybe Sabon, Stempel Garamond, Arnhem, Dolly, etc.

I would have to say the new and amazing scotch from Hoefler & Frere-Jones called Chronicle. http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100031

I’ve finally saved up enough to buy it;-) Pheww
