Possible comma / space / roman red figures.
Possible comma / space / roman red bolder figures.
Possible space / space / roman red figures——flush right (figures aligned left).

try flush right the numerals aligned with the S in CONTENTS.
try to use roman not ital numbers.

I’d try right aligning the whole thing.

Also - You don’t need “Table of”. Just Contents says what it is.

Right align everything (both the numbers and the text 3p or so to the left of the numbers) and dump the red (it’s hard to read), for starters.

I don’t mind “Table of” but I’d keep it all black.

I’d try doing page numbers aligned to RHS with motion blurred echo like they’d speeding away. Like:

_______

Nice idea Aleksander ! :)
Maybe two good tires for the Contents lorry for auto alignment ?

As Richard suggested, I prefer to mix styles when setting TOCs; that is, if the chapter titles are in italic, folios are not, etc. It helps to clearly define that the folios are not part of the chapter titles, especially if you’re going to set the two close together.

On the other hand, contrary to Richard’s suggestion about setting the folios flush-right under the “s” from “Contents,” no, no, no. I’ll never understand why people insist on stretching this relationship and thus straining the reader’s eye to connect titles to folios; just because that’s how it was done for a very long time does not make it a good idea.

One possible and simple solution is to throw the folios on the other side of the titles. Create 2 tab stops, one to set the folios flush-right, and another to set the titles flush-left, like this:

Regarding the type, right-align it and set the page numbers in regular characters.

I’d lose the entire headline unless the brochure is huge and there’s something going on that makes the contents page easy to miss. Every literate adult in Western Civilization can look at that page and know what it is without needing it spelled out. But if you do decide to leave it there, Futura and that serif are worlds apart and the effect they have on each other is cacophonous. Futura comes in enough weights that you can break things up just fine without needing to throw another font into the mix.

I ended up right aligning, and changing the page numbers to roman.

Thanks for your help, I that hellish project has finally been sent to print.

And Jpad, as for the Berling/Futura mix, I don’t think it looks right, but I had no say in the fonts.

I’ll never understand why people insist on stretching this relationship and thus straining the reader’s eye to connect titles to folios; just because that’s how it was done for a very long time does not make it a good idea.

I agree. A designer I learned a lot from (John Menapace) said the only reason to line them all up was to make it easier to sum them. Why pander to compulsive behavior?
