Mutton Quad: Type Designer Research

As mentioned, these are the typefaces that British type designers are accountable for.

I have been a little selective, mainly showcasing ones that are either successful or ones that I can actually get hold of to use (without breaking the law - I'm not keen on that unlike some).



At the moment, I think all of these may potentially be useful... minus Tahoma and Verdana. I think these web based fonts look terrible out of their screen based context. Ian Thompson agrees with me there, so at least I'm not alone in believing this.

If I had to pick right now...

Serif - Baskerville or Georgia
Sans - Gill Sans
