Need some Serif inspiration...
Im looking for some serif font inspiration for a identity job
At the moment im using Amasis:

but am looking to put together about 6 different options...
Does anyone know of that fantastic long forgotten serif font that
can be dragged out and used again, or have any other suggestions
on great serif typefaces ? The letter A is quite important in the identity...
i also like...

Under my eyes, Amasis is more a slab than a serif.
i think Goody Old Style and Silverado have in common a very “oldstyle” look, they sound out of date.
consider le monde livre, angie, bullen, collis, fedra serif, charter, maiola, goodchild, the serif... these are contemporary, they have a personnality, some are real serif, some are slab.

Schneidler? Joanna?
Conga Brava can be interesting in a way, although it’s almost italics :)

hey you know what? I was actually going to name Joanna, then I thought I should focus on the contemporary ones. But Joanna rocks.
