“My favorite typefaces switch over time. Right now, I find myself turning to Univers (Adrian Frutiger, 1957) pretty regularly. With such a large family (21 faces), it can serve so many purposes. And I love that it's available in condensed and extended too. Clean and readable, it's a good workhorse.” — John Clifford, Owner at Think Studio

“Trade Gothic, because it's awesome (sturdy, malleable, classic, plays well with others, etc).” — Phil Hamlett, Graduate Director, at the School of Graphic Design, Academy of Art University
AdobeSourceSansPro
“Currently I am in love with Adobe Source Sans Pro. There’s legibility at many sizes and the bold does not feel too heavy at 8 point.” — Sloan Mann, Creative Director and Partner in the Fibonacci Design Group, LLC
Avenir Next
“Avenir Next is a great alternative to some other body copy typefaces we've used in the past including Gotham and Helvetica.” — Nathan Goldman, DKNG Creative Director
Univers
Helvetica Neue
“Helvetica Neue. Elegant, simple, classic and can be used for text and headline, and lots of faces for all spaces and needs.”
— Marcella Missirianm, President of the User Experience Professionals Association
Janson
“A font I would take to a deserted island is Janson laser cut out of large wooden blocks. I would send a very elegant SOS message. I grew up in the photo-type era and worked with 'The Face' in Sydney that had the Berthold System. So, the truth is, I can live without all fonts as I don't favor one over the other.” — Simon Catford, UX Designer at The Walt Disney Studios
