Hi,

I hope someone can help.

Does anyone know of a suitable classical typeface for use on print material (at any size - body and headline)?

These are my closest references (see jpg).... Trajan - way too clasical (but rather lovely), Debenhams - owned by them so I can't use this (and still too classical and 'thin' ) and finally Mylius - owned by British Airways so unfortunately non-commercial but the closest to what I want.

And I also need to buy both PC and Mac versions.

Any suggestions at all are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Beaufort, from Shinn Type, could fit the bill. I use it for a newsletter, where it handles display and text duties admirably.

How about something sort of calligraphic, like either Hiroshige by Cynthia Hollandsworth (which has a Sans version by Arthur Baker), or ITC Tiepolo, by Arthur Baker and Hollandsworth?
