There are few that meet your criteria as well as Renard. I commend you on looking beyond the usual suspects for your identity. Are you a designer or a lawyer?

Renard’s an excellent choice, yes, though a more elegant revival of the same punchcutter’s work is DTL VandenKeere; you might also want to look at Augereau, Storm Jannon Text Moderne, and Conrad, depending on whether you want sixteenth, seventeenth or eighteenth century associations.

The euro sign is poorly served, if that is a concern.

Renard is undoubtedly beautiful.

As a lawyer, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you to check TEFF’s EULA. Their fonts are expensive, and their EULA has some unusual restrictions:

“The Licensee shall be entitled to install the fonts mentioned in Article 2 of this Agreement and to use these fonts to layout documents and/or for word processing purposes on no more than one computer and one output device belonging to the Licensee.”
—Many EULAs allow 5 devices.

“Without prior written permission from TEFF licensee shall refrain from putting documents, files or data in which the fonts/data mentioned in Article 2 of this Agreement are embedded, such as .pdf files, at third-party’s disposal and refrain from making documents, files or data in which the fonts/data mentioned in Article 2 of this Agreement are embedded available to any third-party.”
—Many EULAs allow PDFs for print and preview.

Personally, these conditions would make me think twice.

John, you read my mind!

From the same designer, but with better EULA’s:
FF Quadraat
Arnhem
and
Custodia (OurType)

Wow, so many things to consider when you open up a practice and you have time to choose a typeface? Good for you!

How about:
Galliard for “strong, conservative, and elegant”?
Baskerville (for a more rationalist look?)
Caslon pro (highly familiar to the US lawyers)?

You’ll be quite distinct in a world of TNR...

Thanks Guys!
You’ve been helpful. I am a law student who is trying to develop a consistent personal style of document. Not only for practice, but for all correspondence.
I really like Renard, and I just wanted to run it by the forum members to see if there was some reason why it was a horrible choice.
Thank you again.

For a law student, it’s a terrible choice, because you could find better ways to spend your money.

I’m sorry I missed that conversation, typequake, because I would have weighed in. It was “Counterpunch” that made Renard win me over. I wish more print looked like it.
