HELVETICA!

For the past week or so I've been playing with fonts for both computer screen and for use in my work.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have prefered AvantGardeBT for some time; full bodied, clear and ledgable at typical printing sizes.
Then I stumbled on Elementary SF.
I find that for use with sketchup [and mostly sketchy output] this font is a nice contrast. Rounded edges and a balanced type similar to that of a stencil [for those who can remember...] I think I have found my new type!!!
And I now use Myriad Pro family for screen type, emailing, etc....Cheers to you all!!!:D

Mateo - that's quite a list. Thank you!
I often use this: http://www.identifont.com/ to match fonts that clients require when wearing my graphic design hat. It will take you sometimes 20 questions to get your font narrowed down, but it gets great results most times.
I still really like architext - Grant's font. I use it lots. And of course Iomanoid (looks like the font used in Arkanoid video game from the 80's.. love that font!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together, Mateo!!!

Again, thanks mateo, thats a very good list.
Cool site as well Shaun, it works pretty well, even if you dont know anything about fonts

You are all wellcome. I do a lot of graphic design but I dont use
a great deal of them either . I mostly stick to my favourites but
every now and then if a project is kind of special and requires
a certain type of font I go and search for one.
The trouble with that is that when You go looking for one it
takes You hours to find the righ one. -
i tend to use the futura family, especially the futura light bt, for my cad work and even in print.
