Are you picking them based on any criterias?

Fleischmann's #65. Not yet [properly] digitized (but I could get you a scan).

BTW, what do you have in there already?

I said I wouldn't state the typefaces I have, but on your request I will state 2 serifs of each page I have:
Albertina, Arno Pro, Caecilia, Clarendon, Fleischmann, Haarlemmer, Lexicon, Mrs. Eaves, Proforma, Roos, Thesis, Trinité, Walbaum.

Those are just a few.

As for criteria, I really don't want to state any free typefaces because they're often incomplete. Also, I want to keep fonts that are not well available and fonts still in development very limited. As this document is called "Essential Typefaces" I want to involve the "legendary" typefaces. I think I put in quite a few of those, but probably not all. Furthermore, I want some diversity. That's all the criteria I have. So just state some you like, regardless of whether they're considered original or unique or not.

Here's some, in random order, each one I think is interesting for some reason:
Garamond, Plume, Museo, Trajan, Joanna, Cochin.

Garamond, Museo and Trajan are included. Cochin is pretty nice. I will consider it. Thank you for your input.

I don't know what kind of criteria you are using to select, but I like these.

Bodoni
Goudy Old Style
Clarendon
New Baskerville
Adobe Garamond
Trajan
Palatino
Caslon
Rockwell
Mrs. Eaves

///Gerardo Ruiz Babsia///

I'll just throw in Arnhem, Berling, and Whitman. "Serif typeface" is a really broad category, but I'm guessing you are limiting this to typefaces for the Latin alphabet, widely available as digital fonts today.

As of now, I don't need anymore typefaces. I chose Prelo Slab and Vista Slab as the final two.

As for your suggestions, I have all of those in there except for Berling, Whitman, Goudy and Rockwell. Berling I didn't know, but it's beautiful. I definitely have to add that one. As for the other three, I simply forgot about them. I never liked Rockwell though. But I do think Rockwell is quite essential.

TOP TEN SERIF TYPEFACES

Oh no need to name typefaces for me, though you're all welcome to continue this thread. It was an old project I kept expanding until I didn't know what would be the relevance of it anymore, though I learned a lot from the categorization in the process as it took a lot of research in history and styles, so not a complete waste.

I've never heard of Rameau before but it looks beautiful. Why do you like Lubalin Graph?

I adore Lubalin Graph because of its delicate design: see the capital G and the capital Q.
Anyway, I am bias, I admire Herb Lubalin's style.
It's my favorite slab serif even though I enjoy Ionic.
I pair Lubalin Graph with Avant Garde Gothic.
For the record, Rameau takes its roots from Le Romain du Roi and Fleischmann.

It reminds me of the 90's which I don't find a good thing but that's probably a personal association which doesn't really have much to do with the typeface. It pairs well with Avant Garde Gothic, but I just don't like the typeface.

Well, one could always start with a list of the obvious, with perhaps two slightly self-indulgent entries...

Times Roman
Century Expanded
Caledonia
Deepdene
Palatino
Baskerville
Garamond
Bembo
Kennerley
Bodoni
