Alternates/Synonyms for Georgia and Lucida Grande for print work.

Working a web interface and logo for a low budget project that use these two excellent screen optimized typefaces, but need to reproduced the logo in/find similar fonts that will stand up to the rigours of a wide variety of print applications (ID, Poster, Package).

Miller is the obvious print analogue to Georgia. It was also designed by Matthew Carter, and comes in a variety of cuts for text and display.

Lucida started life as a print face so it can do double duty, onscreen and off.

Thank you marcox,

Is Lucida Grande that comes standard on the Mac the same as Lucida Sans/usable for print work?

Sorry, Tim, but I've never compared the two. The "Grande" in the name might suggest it was created for print display work, a la Big Caslon, but I'm just speculatin' at this point.

'Grande' is refering to the gigantic character set it comes with. Its basically covers all of unicode. Cyrillic, Turkish, CE ete. I think it ways specially hinted too. But still no OSF or small caps though.

Out of all the interface sans available- Lucida is good for both print and on screen. Whereas Verdana/Tahoma are readable on screen but horriable in print... and in my opinion look like inspired by Lucida.

Grande: I believe it's the same also. Unfortunately no italics on the os screen version. Not a big fan of the printed look myself. It is a mater of taste. I think technically it's good.

Thanks everyone.

Nice icon, Jones : )

> Its basically covers all of unicode.

No way.

hhp

all of latin unicode?

I don't think that Lucida Sans and Georgia go really good together...
Maybe you can complement Georgia (or a similar Scotch Roman) with Weidemanns Corporate S.

poms,

Have an example of "Weidemanns Corporate S.?"
