Magazine re-design

Scoopette

I am currently re-designing a homes, architecture and design magazine and i need to find two fonts (one serif, one sans) that go well together, are a bit edgy and will also not date within the next five years.
I would be most grateful if anyone could recommend anything that they think would work well.
The fonts also need to have a foundry so that my boss will think he’s getting his money’s worth!

Hi Scoopette. We’re happy to lend a hand. What kind of design does the magazine cover?
“The fonts also need to have a foundry.” Can you explain this?

Any font by David Berlow or Cyrus Highsmith:

Do you have ideas yourself, you must have done some research as you’re redesigning the magazine?
I’m curious about your choices and the reason behind them. This will help make the discussion interesting, I think.

That is very nice, “the fonts also need to have a foundry” sounds 80s punk.
