I know there are loads of you on here.
Seen any nice stylish serif typefaces recently? For editorial so legibility is everthing.

Come ON!!
Not the obvious. Trawling through the font libraries. Think stylish

Come on, you used the words editorial and legibility.
Anymore hints on usage? Don't use anything fancy in body text, if you're after something fancy for headlines only, maybe get a bit more creative.

I quite like Caslon for body copy, depends what size and what amount of type your setting really!

Personally I love Arial and Johnston, the London Transport typeface. Clear, simple, eligible.
EDIT: 'Eligible'? Single, GSOH, nice-smelling, solvent?
(Goes into American Psycho mode...)

FF Unit Slab Pro is kinda nice in body text actually but it has a pretty distinctive look which is either going to work or not.

Elfinsafety brief FAIL!

Elfinsafety, he said serif, not sans...

Women's monthly market magazine. Can't say more really.
May be used as body copy, definately headlines.
Think creative..inspire me! Just want to see what's out there really

comic sans?

I'd always go for a nice san-serif for the body. Comic Sans is my first choice.

Ruddy 'ell - is it any wonder that swapping fonts is so rife when a complete set is €975.00!!!

Perhaps Meta Serif?
Expecting whinging about the price now...

Papyrus FOR EVERYTHING

Price no object. I work for a big publisher.
Cheers Gary. Was looking at Museo for a slab and sans at the mo but early days.
I mean a proper serif (not slab)

Ok, if it's lifestyle mags, Slabs are pretty hot at the moment. Officina Serif, Unit Slab, Clarendon...

Incidentally, this is worth a look, new type magazine...

I was reading my copy of that last night Gary.

Mag I'm on now uses Archer (slab), Proxima (sans) and Chronicle (serif)
Will probably use the three styles on this project but not the same fonts
Should point out a large family of weights would be needed

Does it need to be suitable for PowerPoint? Remember...lots of bullet points

How about "Optima, only hint of a serif and good for lots of text", so I've just been told

Rotis Sans Serif?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Swift designed by Gerard Unger. It's a great looking work horse for text
Posted 1 year ago # -
Swift looks good. Reminds me of Stylist Magazine's masthead
Posted 1 year ago # -
Rotis is awful as a body text, despite that being it's orginal/main purpose. I still love it though.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'd never use serif fonts for body text...
However if you must then I'd probably opt for something like Century Schoolbook. That's a lovely font. Hoefler Text will work relatively well as a body text font also.

What does slab mean?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Sunday Times.

Archer and Chronicle, now those are nice typefaces!
That Xavier Dupre designs some interesting faces - I use Absara a lot (very recognisable italic), but perhaps not for a women's monthly market magazine. His Yoga and Parango are nice and a little quirky too.Posted 1 year ago # -
molgrips - the serifs aren't tapered, they're square edged.
Look at Times close up and then look at Rockwell close up and you'll see.
