“Lately of I've been switching all my Microsoft apps to Courier—if you can believe it. I think I've reached that point in my life that I'm sick of thinking about which font to use. Otherwise, I'm a Gotham guy.”—Steven Ryan, Partner at VSA Partners
“My favorite typeface for everyday use is Palatino. I fell in love with it when I was a student at Chouinard Art Institute and we have been happily married for 50 years. Palatino has a charm and sensitivity that makes me excited every time I use it, or see it. I love that typeface.” —Archie Boston, AIGA Fellow
“Trade Gothic. At least that’s what comes to mind, not overthinking it… because of its nice clean feel and it doesn’t feel cold.” —Karin Fong, Creative Director at Imaginary Forces
