Default Favourite Fonts

What are your favourite fonts and why? Assuming that you don't have to just try to fit it in with the theme of a design (i.e. just a typographic poster or something).

My top ones are definitely the Aaux Pro as #1:






I love using this one over Helvetica anyday; just has this professional digital sort of vibe to it. Definitely my go-to sans serif. Really versatile and flexible, moreso than Helvetica which is too straightforward and boring. This at least has some curvature and stands out at any size.

For headlines and the like, I hate to really blend in with the crowd but Bebas is awesome. Really bold and impactful for lettering headings or subheads.



For some specialty things with texture/a machinarium type vibe, I love the font



I try not to use it too often, but I love when I can. Has a kind of robotic dusty/rusty element to it which makes it cool to use in a design with that kind of vibe.

As you can tell I'm not big on serif fonts, I try to avoid them unless they're bolder ones like Nouvelle Vague:



Watcha got in your fontbook that you like/use the most?
