1. What kind of magazine?
2. How is it printed?
3. What is it printed on?
4. Who are the readers?

There's dozens of choices. Answering a few simple questions regarding context makes the task far easier and removes aesthetic guesswork. Garamond and Sabon are pretty good fallbacks. Nick Shinn would be a good person to ask.

1. Its a Government Magazine with a different theme each publication.
2. It is printed on a Heidelberg web press with Aqueous coating.
3. 60# Utopia dull No2 grade.
4. Geared towards a diverse resident base covering major departments such as Environmental, Transportation, Public Health etc. Each has a Page and/or a spread dedicated to them but they all have to fit within a theme. This issue is all about how their tax dollars are spent. It usually has a "Newsweek" feel for content and a "Wired" style for layout and graphics with a size similar to the "T magazine"

I don't dislike Minion I just want a modern version. Currently Minion is paired with Din and Titling. I have explored the use of FF Yoga as a good all round super family, Brioni because of its suitability for magazines and Premiera for its X height. Would these substitute well?

Thanks

Insiders will guess what my hints are always about ;-)
