I have to agree with you on this one...I love this font.
So classy looking.

When it comes to scripty/handwritten fonts I like Cezanne. It looks so colonial, almost like written with a quill pen.

I'm enamoured not only with it's simplicity, its idiosyncrasies, but also it's neutrality, to quote Wim Crouwel... "We were impressed by that because it was more neutral, and neutralism was a word that we loved. It should be neutral. It shouldn't have a meaning in itself. The meaning is in the content of the text and not in the typeface." and that is why I shall conform to stereotype and say Helvetica.

DIN has always looked oddly drawn to me.

I try to stay away from Helvetica just because it's kind of a fanboy thing now. Other than that, whatever comes with my MacBook when it's brand new. And then I'll buy fonts when the project needs it, but I haven't really had to.

I'm a really big fan of "Knowledge" (Thomson Reuters' new font) right now.

Love the look of DIN. Does anyone have a link where I can download it for free?

Myriad pro, trebuchet ms, and more..

Myriad Pro is the best, I love it, not just because Apple use it...

For those that want to know where you can get Myriad, just download/buy any CS3 or CS4 app from Adobe and you'll have the full range.

It's a copyrighted font. Do not ask for links or help with this on MR. Go and buy it and reward its creators.

I like it too - do you know if it available publicly (for purchase, I mean?)

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure.

No matter how many new trendy gothic fonts I try I seem to always go back to Trade Gothic, it goes with everything like Helvetica.

It's not that I want to cheat on Gotham, but I'm finding myself falling in love with Neutraface.

Avenir LT has been my favorite lately.

Has anyone used the Adobe Font folio? Cause I got a copy from my friend and don't know if it's worth downloading.
