Based on the other thread about surplus fonts, this one is as simple as the title suggests.

1. Futura
2. Gill Sans
3. Palatino
4. Optima
5. Aachen

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
Ghastly choices. Are you guys running sign shops or publishing a high school newspaper? As for me. I do signs not church fliers and would choose:

LHF Stevens Percepta
Either A&S Cardiak or LHF Sophia Script
Compacta or perhaps Impact
Some romanesque serif number
Some Tinkerbell specimen face like A&S Sarasparilla or something
Some institutional looking sans serif face or maybe another script

Wilson font is all you need when stranded on an Island.
I go to Barbados every year for a month, Internet and electricity are great so all my fonts are available.
But I will play....Univers, Fruitiger, Bliss, Unisans, Garamond.

Well, imagine weeding it, for one thing.


Ya hafta know when to use it. No one in their right mind would die-cut vinyl with it, but just about every sign shop in the country has a printer these days and it's a nice looking font.
