Typographic Capsule Library
I personalized my typographic library and have chosen the fonts that I like best and that I think are the easy to combine:
Serif
All so equal and yet so different, I mostly use serif fonts for body texts at short distances, they must be clear and legible despite their serifs: All 3 are therefore well suited, the "Bodoni 72" is one of my favourite fonts, although you usually have to core it a little tighter because it has a wide width by nature.
Sans Serif
In addition to the Azo Sans lettering, which simply always and for every use fits, the "Champagne & Limousine has a totally personal touch" even rounder hallmarks than the Azo and therefore very feminine and noble. The Futura then rather for the more serious and classic case, yet stylish and precise.
Slab Serif
At first I wasn't even sure what Slap Serif was anymore. Then I wondered if I would use it at all and in fact I use it very rarely, but there are these 3 I prefer. In my eyes relatively similar but strong in character. strong characters are harder to adapt, but if they are, they work exceptionally well.
Handwriting
Handwriting typefaces are almost always part of my design taste. It always adds that certain something to anything straightforward. Especially, but rarely applicable: "Gloss Drop". It looks like written from a fountain pen, illustrated, but not too kitschy. Easier to mix for example with the Azo Sans, is the Gatreaux or Advertising script. Whereby one can again recognize the range of handwriting scripts. One in a neat handwriting, the next rather wild, like a signature, but I think both can be applied well.
Decorative & Display
So a display font should be as conspicuous as possible, shouldn't it?
Not quite right. Helvetica can probably be used anywhere, but designers still use the classic instead of the individual. Why? For many it is simply perfect and most precise - easy to read. A display font or decorative font can also resemble a handwriting like the "Victor Script" from my favourites. It's just a touch more unnatural than the "Reclame Script" but that's exactly what makes it so decorative for me.
