Does anyone have any suggestions for a serif font that pairs well with DIN? I'm looking for something that works well as body copy paired with a DIN headline. I read some of the earlier posts on DIN/serif pairs, but was wondering if anyone has found something else...thanks for any and all suggestions...

before we make suggestions, what were the previous recommendations?

[broken4good]

Yes, that would be helpful, wouldn't it?

The previous recommendations were Swift, Charlotte Serif, Minion, PMN Caecilia, and Melior...whew!

Thanks again for any and all suggestions...

quite a few of the older serifs make an interesting contrast with din's clinical nature... try bodoni, baskerville, garamond, caslon and see if it fits your purpose

Thanks brett...I've tried out Garamond and it's working quite well!
