• Combination with Hoefler Text

    From Dr Engelbert Buxbaum@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 25 10:46:31 2024
    Hi,

    some time ago we discussed the Hoefler text as bread font, but nobody
    would suggest fonts to combine with it. I have been experimenting with
    this, and based on the idea that combining fonts from the same
    typographer should usually work, used the Gotham for sans-serif and the Operator for mono-spaced (in my work, monospaced is used mostly for
    computer code). I am not an artist, so the only bad thing about this combination I noticed is the `l´ in the italic version of the Operator,
    that sticks out too much (although it is nicely different from `i`, `I´
    `l´ and `1´). What do you think? What would be the alternatives?
