Typesetting a letter.....

I’ve seen Gotham succesfully paired with lots of serif faces, but I personally prefer something with a bit of substance (weight) and/or personality:

Why are you using Gotham?

...because the letterhead is set in Gotham.

...and then I was talked into believing that Gotham Narrow would work by the Hoefler web site.

Gotham speaks for so many things that it has lost its voice.

I agree (said after hundreds of Gotham and Whitney dollars spent at Hoefler). But so have all my go-to typefaces: first univers, then interstate and DIN. I'm searching.
