Out of the five classic typefaces my favorite font is Baskerville, and my second favorite is Helvetica. Even though all the fonts seem very similar, Baskerville stands out to me because the sculptedĀ serif, and the contrast between the thickness and thinness is very attractive and elegant to me. I think overall it’s a beautiful font and I like the curved brackets. Baskerville has a lot of characters and design to it, so it’s eye-catching to me, unlike Bodoni which seems like a plainer, simpler version of Baskerville. Even though this font is from the 1700’s it does not appear to be outdated, and I think it’s super interesting that Benjamin Franklin was a fan of John Baskerville’s fonts. Helvetica is my second favorite because I like how simple and plain it is, yet it’s so modern looking that I’m not bored looking at it. It’s so creative and different that the dot on the “i” is a square. As I’m typing this I’m realizing that this is Helvetica font too. It’s everywhere and I did not even realize but it’s so subtle and not in your face. I like how clean cut it is, and legible it is.
