Using Neutraface:
http://www.houseind.com/index.ph…
Need a font for body copy that will compliment it...any suggestions?
- rasko40
I would really like that Neutraface, yes, I would really like to have that typeface. But alas I do not have it so I will just sit here all sad and crying.

which weight are you using?
- zedvox0
what weight are you using? neutraface has neutra text as well...which obvisouly goes well.
in sans maybe Meta
and in serif mrs eaves (?)really depends on what you are deisgning.....
- mr_snuggles0
It all depends on which country you live in...

book. Am not to keen on the neutra text to be honest...was looking at something like meta...is for my cv/portfolio.
- mr_snuggles0
Don't use Meta, the numerals alone are reason enough not to use it...

I'd skip Neutraface and use something like Gotham, that feels similar but has a better family for contrast/variety..

mmm Gotham.
but gotham and neutra evoke different feelings for me...neutra def has a more "sophisticated" great gatsby thing for me...whereas..gotham is more towards hemingway.....na meen?

neutra doesn't go with anything
- mr_snuggles0
Just do a "find and replace font" you'll be happier in the end...

(Apr 5 06, 11:54)better family than Neutra? wha? the Neutra family is massive.
I'd look at some serif text to compliment Neutra.. don't mix in another sans.
or have you considered Neutra Condensed?

(Apr 5 06, 11:59)youa re never too far in..just PHOTOSHOP IT!
may i ask whyd you choose neutraface ?
as much as i love that font..it scares the fuck out of me...it's one of those fonts which has so much character(ha) built into it that the desing and idea better be spot on or it will come out looking shoddy.

and mr. snugs..just because i chose to paratake in one of your and crouwel's bacon nights...doesnt mean i'm gay.
i was going through my experimentation period.hmpf.
