Font recommandation, magazine design

Rannveig

I’m currently working on my master project in visual communication where I’m going to produce a magazine around clubbing and the creative environment that this culture creates in my home town.

I’m looking for a grotesque font with a big family that can work in a rather small size if used as body text, but also has other weights that works well in capitals if for example used as headings. I would like it to be quite contemporary or a “modern classic”, maybe with some special distinctions- but still the most important thing is that it’s easy to read in a small size and that it will look good in text column (not too loose, not too thin or too black). I’d like a font that’s is also not too round if you understand what I mean.

I hope that some of you might give me some suggestions on fonts that would work well in my magazine, I would be really grateful for some help

Many thanks
