Why didn't anybody answer my post? Is it because nobody is interested in my post?

Similar threads already exist, which isn't surprising.

There are even more threads on more specific questions, like favourite serif faces.

I don't like making lists generally, and I simply haven't used enough typefaces to come up with a list of favourites. I just don't think I can really call a typeface a favourite if I've only ever seen a type specimen on the web.

'Favourite' is subjective and vague, and I think many people here will find this question too broad to answer anyway.

In no particular order, and all variants of each:
Optima
Garamond
Bookman Old Style
Gill Sans
Baskerville Old Face
Eurostile
Futura
Neutra Display-Medium
Trebuchet MS Bold
Palatino
Lucida Sans Typewriter
Bodoni
Copperplate

My favorites are:
Sans: Avenir, Houschka, Novecento, Neutraface, Helvetica, Chalet,
Serif: Hoefler, Key, Arno Pro, Perla, Kepler, Warnock Pro
Script: Burgues Script, Candy Script and both La Portenia's
But above all these I adore BRAGA by DS Type!!!

Currently, Le Monde Journal.

Serif:
Tiina from Ourtype
Cycles by Sumner Stone
Expo Serif

FF Kievit
the good old Frutiger and the good old Futura

Montserrat

I'm starting to feel a very strange attraction to Verdana these days.

Take it to Ikea ;)

Ha ha, forgot about IKEA...

Verdana Bold, tracking decreased to about 77%, is a...

Precis! tusend jår på Verdana! (Excuse my really bad swedish).

Idlewild has also really impressed me. Those figures are no joke.

Tahoma and Verdana share the same DNA. I fact, most of the MS core fonts are attractive and entirely suitable for their intended purpose, which is the preparation of business documents. In any event, my fave text face remains Poppl Laudatio, while my favorite display face is one of my own…

Flooce — FYI, the Typophile linking shortcut doesn’t work with https protocol (the “s” throws it off). You have to use standard HTML for those. Thus, your Tiina link, above, doesn’t work.

Don't wish you wear hot like me, don't ya don't ya!!!!

I'm always on the lookout for nice new fonts, and of course any given purpose is going to have its own requirements. That said, I do have a short list of useful standbys that I'm personally fond of.

Sans: Frutiger, Futura, Helvetica, Syntax (not too original, am I? <g>)
Serif: Adobe Jenson Pro, Bembo, Centaur, Palatino, Sabon, Schneidler
Japanese: Epson Kyôkasho, Kochi-Subst (or Sazanami) Mincho, M+ 2C

I've never actually tried them, but lately I've been admiring some recent discoveries:

• Novel Sans Pro (also Rounded)
• Comenia Sans
• Goudy Text CT (from Castle Type; OTOH I don't much care for the Monotype version)
• LTC Metropolitan Italic Alt (a bit closer to Arrighi's original than Warde)
• Poetica (esp. Poetica Chancery III)

i love times new roman

Good for you mageworld—

Just because MS Word made it ubiquitous does not mean that Victor Lardent did not create a solid, time-tested and appealing design…

Times (New) Roman was designed for a particular purpose, and fulfills that purpose quite admirably. If you want to fit a relatively large amount of prose into a constrained space without overly sacrificing readability, aesthetics, or professionalism, it's a fine choice. (Or, as an acquaintance of mine put it, "In a two-inch-wide newspaper column, Times Roman is da bomb.") The main problem with it IMO is that it tends to be egregiously misused.

BTW I thought Stanley Morrison designed it?

No, he merely excogitated it.

Calibri!
