Looking for modern classic serif.
Client has had 8 versiosn - I'm still obviously shit and new to this...
Can you list some type examples? I won't say what I have used already as I want to see I 'm on right track.

- I kind of like it in itself, but I reckon I'm with moa once you're talking applicationkelpie
- It worked for the jitrois logo otherwise it's awful!CphGD

when you say 'modern classic serif' do you mean modern in terms of the type classification or modern in terms of newly released?

For someone who uses the term "jazz-up" you've got good taste in font kelpie...
- kelpie0
my font taste and general type boddiness is born of frustration in the main. I appreciate type from afar in a madly obsessive way while being stuck with the system defaults for 99% of my working life.
Its fucking torture I tell you
- mistermik0
well i have all 3 of them so that a ticket.
- moth0
I've just spent 15 minutes trawling google trying to find the original "jazzup" to substantiate my claim. It's been to no avail and I might have to retract my statement.

Chronicle, Freight, Leitura: the holy trinity. Which reigns supreme?
- of those, freight for mekelpie

*update.
they went for gotham rounded.
they sought advice from a printer.wtf.
- hahahahahahahaha...NotByHand
- Ehrm, Gotham rounded is lovely, but how can it be mistaken for a serif?Scotch_Roman
- And why the bloody hell are they soliciting type advice from a printer?Scotch_Roman
- It seems recommending a typeface is the least of your problems, dude.Scotch_Roman

fedra, greta from typotheque, athelas from typetogether, marat from uebele, relato from emtype, jenny from fontfarm
darden, h&fj, dino and sowersby make excelent type, but it excapes me why they are *always* present in threads like this. there are so many more foundries that deserve just as much attention...
*Oh, I see they went for gotham rounded, that's a funny serif face indeed.

Newzald is a beaut, and high on my wishlist too.
- I would use the pants off of this face, as well as National. Yawsir!Scotch_Roman
- *sigh*jimbojones
- Why sigh? Swooning with desire?Scotch_Roman
- see one post above this one. i adore sowersby's work, but I guess I just see it way too oftenjimbojones

Meta Serif is growing on me.
- had a crush and got over it.jimbojones
- i like it, but what the fuck do i know?
*goes back to flicking boogers at monitor7point34 - I still prefer TheAntiqua for a slabby serif, though, esp. since it's part of the Thesis family.Scotch_Roman
- Love me some Thesis. Still good imho, 15 years after the first release.Scotch_Roman
- I wonder why luc doesn't make a slab/serif counterpart to Taz, would totally pwn H&FJjimbojones
