Seeking typeface recommendations

lemme1 August 2006 · 09:14

I’m looking for a serif typeface that is as thorough as TheSerif or PMN Caecilia — i.e., multiple weights, small caps, true italics, ranging figures, etc — but that isn’t TheSerif or PMN Caecilia. I can’t use TheSerif (long story why) and I can’t shake the feeling that PMN Caecilia is just a bit too precious (humanist) for this particular use. I’m tending toward slab(ish) serifs, but open to other suggestions, too. Any thoughts?

What project(s) will you be using this typeface for?

Apex Serif is excellent. Another one to compare: Fedra Serif. This comes in two different versions with different lengths of extenders.
