Hi, im new here. This is my first post. I have sort of a broad question. I'm looking to update my font collection. If you were to reccomend 10 fonts that you feel are essential to your craft, what would they be. Thanks. : )

I disagree with the philosophy that one should have a stable of fonts, ready to use on whatever job comes along.

As an art director, I was always looking for the new font for the new job. As a type designer, the one(s) I'm working on at the moment are always the most essential.

And bear in mind, the right font for the job in hand may not have been designed yet, and may require commissioning.

thanks for the help guys, im looking into your suggestions : )
