hey!
what’s your favourite serif font? (especially for use on print stuff)
thanks! file
adobe garamond, it’s sophisticated, easy to read and the letterforms are just beautiful :)
Niki
Hard to decide... I guess my favorites are:
• Bembo • Sabon • Plantin
cheerio Queneau
If i had to decide this today – Lexicon (http://www.teff.nl/) Tomorrow maybe Sabon, Stempel Garamond, Arnhem, Dolly, etc.
Jenson
love its handmade look.
Dante FF Quadraat Greta Text (although I haven’t yet used it myself)
great - some of them i haven’t known before! some more favourites anyone? :)
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
the last serif i licensed: Feijoa the next one i hope to: Anselm
previous licenses: Relato Papaerback
others on my wish list: Eason
also, i’m quite pleased that Arno Pro came bundled with the latest CS upgrade.
I’m using Kris’s Newzald for a couple of books at the moment... it sets nice. would like to grab Storms Baskerville Ten pro, good book face I reckon, Walbaum too.
Minion!
Dolly is great. I have enjoyed using it.

Minion used to be my “go-to” serif. Now it’s Whitman. On my wish list: Elmhurst, Miller, Chronicle, Requiem, yada, yada, yada...
