Favourite Fonts

I love arial and authentic highway fonts. The Helvetica family is nice, but doesn't have the angled ends.
 
^Overused, but that's okay.

Personally, its Gill Sans and Avenir for me. I really like Geometric or Humanist Sans-serif fonts. :D

Edit:
I forgot my personal favorite script font: Shelley Volante.
 
I was going to say:

• Impact
• Sand
• Arial
• Algerian
• Zapf Chancery and...
• Comic Sans

but then thought better of it. ;)

:D

In truth, I'm partial to a bit of Avenir at the moment. Warmer and easier than Futura, more casual and humanist than Helvetica.
 
I'm glad comic sans is getting a resurgence. It's a personal challenge to use. It's easy to hate on something.
 
Myriad pro, trebuchet ms, and more..

For people familiar with proximus, a Belgium phone company, their font in their ads is nice too.
 
I'm honestly stunned several people have said Gill Sans. Anyone care to share why they enjoy it? I've never been a fan, but would love to hear why some do like it.
 
Check out the various Bernhard fonts, from long ago. My grandfather designed them, and sold them decades ago, so I have no stake, but some of them are very elegant.
 
The lowercase "j" in Futura has always bothered me.

As for Gill Sans, I've always loved the roundness of it. And I love the contrast between the bold and regular weights.
 
I wondering if anyone knows of somewhere I could possible acquire the font 'DIN', I have looked EVERYWHERE for it with no avail. It seems to be one of the more elegant variations of my favourite, and as you can appreciate, over used 'Myriad Pro' semibold.

I rather think its the dogs bollocks and would welcome any help finding this such illusive font'age :)
