Complimenting Rockwell

Does anyone know of a nice body font that would compliment Rockwell?

Thanks in advance...

Complimenting Rockwell:

I couldn't resist. Seriously though: Could you tell us a little more about the setting, the application, intended "feel", & all that?

That was funny...

Very good font humor there ;)

Take a look at Avenir or Gotham.

I think you should first find a font that complements Stymie, and then use it with Rockwell.

I think these "What font goes with what" threads are a shortcut to nothing. How do you think typographers discover interesting combinations? Not by asking, but by doing. One of the great joys I had as an AD was experimenting with different type combos when a new project crossed my desk. Find your own combinations, on your own, and maybe, just maybe you will find the combo that is perfect and has never been used. (I said maybe, I did not say likely).

Haha thankyou for your comments... unfortunately some design jobs do not give you the time to find your own combinations...
Having a shortlist which I now have will certainly help...
Thanks for the humour as well.
