Im realy in to the Fountain Baskerville 1757 and im going to use it in a design profile for a semi large company. I have never worked with companys this size - that put out annual reports and that kind of large publications, so I dont know if the baskerville will work in all the necessary form - tables, very small compact pargaphs etc. If you have any experience on baskerville in these contexts, please give me some advice.

Nice little family. Should make a great annual report, etc., - Baskerville makes a very readable book font and this also has elegant display options. I would suggest that you specify a companion font for the occasions (such as tables and diagrams etc.) that probably won’t really suit it. Probably a useful condensed sans, but keeping the options quite limited, as with this Baskerville family.

Good choice. Among other things, it has the best
“g” of any Baskerville out there - not an east feat.

And you could use Storm John Sans with it.

Ah, you scared me a bit with the subject for this thread.
I agree  - John Sans would work nicely.

Thanks for your input people!
