Hi all,
As always, I believe that the knowledge of the collective far outweighs that of the individual. So, once again, I turn to typophile for suggestions.

I’m looking for a great, black or bold weighted, legible typeface to use for subheads in a brand new, high end magazine I’m currently designing. I would like it to have minor traits of art deco without compromising its legibility. I have something in mind for the layout that requires the chosen typeface to be on the bold side.

Any suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

I don’t know about “great,” but my own Hypatia Sans would seem to fit the rest of that description. :)

:^/ I thought Hypatia was only available as an incentive. Sorry, T.
