(x) Looking for typeface similar to Dolly - various {gang}

Hy,

For some weeks I'm looking for a robust text face look like Dolly but less curvy, a little more agressive, a bit more literary.
[article about dolly: http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/21831.html]

I want to replace fournier I´m using on this technology and art magazine - www.nada.com.pt
Fournier is too light and it has some problems.
Dolly its almost what I want...

thank you,
granjam

What about Paperback from House Industries?

Check out Fedra and Arnhem. They've got that Dutch dark color, but less soft.

I don't think Dutch fonts are particularly dark, just Smeijers's.

BTW, when did Paperback come out?

Paperback was released ... hmm, 2 weeks ago ... I think.

My suggestion of Paperback was probably not correct at all. It isn't the same genre, but it strikes me as having some of the same friendliness and softness but in a stiff-upper-lip sort of way.

'Aquila', by Dino dos Santos, maybe.?

( Maybe take a look at the 'Top 3 Serif Typefaces' thread, as well.. )

For the archives: Saw DTL Dorian in the book Neil Gaiman – Zerbrechliche Dinge and thought it has some similarities to Dolly*) – or is it vice versa?

*) especially the italics.

It's a Dutch thing. :-)
