For my typography class at university we were given the brief of designing a book using copy from a pre existing novel. I have chosen A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess a book I quite enjoyed. As I thought about appropriate typefaces I found myself at an impass, while the book was written in 1962 it is quite futuristic in a sense in terms of language and technology predicted in the novel. I want to use a nice serif typeface that was perhaps made around the 60s but has a more modern feel if that isn't possible then something that is modern while still being classical if that makes any sense at all.

Archer was a typeface I considered first but my issue with that particular typeface is I'm not sure it relates well to the text perhaps in a lighter weight, I'm not sure. Thoughts?
