I was recently asked which is my favorite typeface and I wasn't sure what to answer... Do you have an odds-on favorite font?

I have to second, typedog. Nobel's charm is an easy favorite, but there are so many.

Very nice list. I envy your budget.
What kind of work does your workhorse, do?

Some of those were purchased quite a while ago. Took about 5 years to build. It can get quite expensive.

What kind of work does my workhorse do? Everything, really. From letters, to reports, to essays, etc.

How can you have more than one odds-on favourite?

@paulstonier

Yes, it has quite a charm. I agree with you there are plenty of other faces.
However, I was too lazy to add any more.
