What font works well with Zapfino?

[irmongoose]

I'm using Zapfino for the titles on my site, and would like to use a simple(r) font for the menu. Any suggestions? Any font rule I should be careful of (like don't use sans-serif with scripts (I'm just making that up))?

Thank you.

I've used Zapfino in a letterhead just for the initial capital of two words and used Helvetica Neue for the rest of the word. Large Zapfino letters and small Helvetica Neue letters. I like the contrast of the large, expansive script and the small, very plain text. Just my preference.

Thanks, Ish, I took a look at Neue, it's definitely a nice font. Hmm... but so many fonts, so confusing!

Yikes, I thought I only knew one person who called Verdana Veranda!

Well spaced Verdana might look nice, although Helvetica is cool is a bit current and trendy, I've stopped using it as it appears to be everywhere now... so my advice would be to avoid it.

Hahaha... silly keystrokes.
You could use her too I suppose...
