• Serpentine Sans Family (ITC)
• Utopia Family (Adobe)
• Palatino Family (Linotype)
• Frutiger Family (Linotype)
• Signpainter Script (House Industries)

In fairness however, I use hundreds of others and try to use one or two fonts or family of fonts I do not use normally for each customer.

I'm SUCH a font whore, I have about 85,000 of them, granted, aside from the LHF fonts I have, and a few others 84,900 of them SUCK.

I use the right fonts for the right job, the client, the business, and the area sometimes dictates the correct fonts to use.

The typefaces have to give a feeling that they belong. sub text should not overwhlem the main copy, etc.

Some of my favorites are:

•Antique Olive Nord
•Caslon
•Sofia script
•Samster Script

More of course!

Once I got over Snapper Script from SignFonts.com I found Roadhouse and like it a lot.

Thanks so much everyone, I was hoping to hear from a specific few of you, (my personal favs). It's great to see how everyones style is different yet very similar in dedication to excellence.
Thanks
