Stephani (our award-winning designer who sits next to me at work). I asked her the question and she said: "Totally Myriad. I love it. It reads well at a small size. And recently I was reading the Adobe font manual and they suggest Apollo for a small serif font. I used to use Garamond, but the serifs get too thing when used small."
Interesting, I think I may start using Apollo and Myriad more often now.

I love fonts! Lately I've been using Flexure on my site in place of Americo, which I started seeing everywhere. I am also a fan of GoodDog which I use on printed materials related to my cookies, cakes and candy "business". I am always looking for alternatives to Times New Roman, so I will have to give Stone Serif a looky. My resume is in Garamond. I LOVE Sloop for fancy calligraphy, when I'm not doing my own. In general, I like the "classic" fonts with serifs.

I too was looking for FUNHOUSE. It is not indexed anywhere on any font search engine. After very patient help from Checkerboard (cardstock manufacturer which uses it in some pre-printing), they determined it was from House Industries (www.houseind.com). It's in their General Collection for $300, and individually for $35.

Thanks Tom, but that is a different font to the Toddler I was looking for, from searching on the web the nearest I can find is a font call Good Dog Plain available at Myfonts.com
Posted by: Brett on Jan 25, 11 | 2:29 am
What would you say is the best font though and why?
