Stag Sans Book or Neutra No. 2 Text Book as body copy in book?

Sye Robertson

hey all,

tomorrow (sat) i am putting together a book, and was thinking of using a sans for the body copy.

my work has stag sans book and neutra no.2 text book and i was thinking of using one of these, what are your thoughts?

i'm just finishing another book in which i've used arno pro, which has been great, arno is a great typeface.

i look forward to hearing your thoughts.

cheers - sye :)

Well, it’s going to look great either way, so just pick the one that relates best to the text and save the other for your next project.

heehee, yeah we only just purchased neutra (they are on sale!) so i kinda wanna try it out... and as for the text.. i haven't even seen it yet, the author is giving it to me tomorrow, but i know they want a modern feel.

thanks james.
