Once you know what youre doing
with type, your own taste will lead
you to certain personal choices. The
compilation of typefaces that follows
is the result of an absolutely unsci-
entic survey I conducted among
designers and educators I know, to
nd out where their choices lead
them most often. This list provides
a useful point of departure for
further study.
I have divided the typefaces into
sections corresponding to the clas-
sication on pages 48 50. I have
shown small caps and lowercase
numerals where available.

It is worth comparing the nam-

Futura, and Gill, for that matter) with
the numbering system of the Adrian

The ampersands in Rotis (l. to r.:
sans, semi sans, semi serif, serif)
closely derive from the origin of the
glypha ligature of the Latin word
et (and). A similar form was offered
in early versions of Univers, but has
since been replaced.
