Stilla in use: WFTP, lettering on poster inspired by Stilla, clothing label, a silly thing I did.

And: I’ll add Stilla to the list. I’ve only seen it used once.
Stilla is great, although you have to be skilled to use it well…
But I think it's one of those typefaces which do not benefit from an excessive exposure.

It may be just me, but I don't remember seeing Kepler used very much, or Alisal. This despite Robert Slimbach (Kepler) and Matthew Carter (Alisal) not being exactly unknown type designers.

i’ve yet to encounter Bodoni Egyptian in use

I just saw it used in the kid's section of the latest J. Crew catalog. I think it was the Roman or Thin weight, not sure as I don't have it in front of me. But I remember noticing the type as it was the first time I had seen it in commercial use.

I have yet to find a book set in FB Alpha Bloc Corde with footnotes in Adobe Ponderosa.

I feel empty inside.

The only place I've seen Kepler used is the Cornell Daily Sun.

The Ascender Originals almost never come up in discussion but are actually pretty nice.
Miramonte is lovely. Metro and Futura’s love child.

Thanks Stephen. I'm gonna have to buy that typeface. It's amazing!

Wow..I gotta check out all these faces. To be honest..I'm quite sick of the same stuff being used over and over again...not that they're bad; but we could all use some variety once in awhile.

Just had the opportunity to set a book in Mendoza and I've absolutely fallen for it:D

I used Mendoza along with Interstate Bold for a corporate identity project a few years ago. They go great together! I built a font package with Mendoza normal, Mendoza Italic, Interstate Bold in the bold position and Mendoza small caps in the bold italic position. The contrasts work well, and it's easy for the architects to use on their PCs.

I also used Clifford some years ago for a book – the documentation of a typography conference we held here in Weimar in 2001. It was never actually printed, rather the PDFs were burned onto a CD and sold that way. Clifford reads really quite well on screen, as well as being an excellent text face for print. I'll upload an image when I get to a computer where the drive works.

Here's the image:

Interstate Bold is used on the back, set in 10 pt., for the partners' names.

I used Stilla recently on a t-shirt for friends surprise birthday party.

Tiffany, it seems your Flickr settings allow viewing all sizes for friends and family only.

Fudge.

That's Motter Femina, not Stilla. Similar feel, though.

:-X I knew that. Today has not been my day for logic. At all. What so ever. FAIL.

Still, another great face that doesn't get used much.

Jürgen, Stephen, if you manage to convince Sumner to add italics to Silica, I will never forgive you. Don't soil such a pristine thing with the impurity that is Italic. Silica has a fine weight gradation for a reason - it doesn't need italics for emphasis, or anything else.

@ Jayar where did you get the OSF for ITC Mendoza. I don't remember it having OSF? Or did it?

Architype Bayer-Type is based upon Herbert bayer's 1931 experimental, universal modern face.
I love this one.
You can find it at: http://www.foundrytypes.co.uk

Jay’s example reminded me of pairing Metron with Lucida Bright on a friends card. Printed on a Heidelberg Windmill. This was before Metron fell into a legal mess.

Hrant - You are alone in your hatred of italics. The rest of us want versatility, not your imagination of "purity".

1) Well, not really hatred.
2) Nobody is ever alone.
3) Versatility does not exist in a vacuum; things you can't see are tugging on it. And integrity has a versatility all its own.
