Recently I got interested in fiddling around with fonts. Not neccesarily fonts that are easy or comfortable to read but just look great or stylish. Now I don't have a huge-ass collection of fonts yet and downloading a set of 2000 from some shady internet sites is probably not very legal or anything, but, what fonts do you like? Right now I'm in love with Westminster. totally unreadable when smallsized but I like the shape and proportions.

I'm currently in love with Futura Medium BT. I guess Kubrick was a great fan of Futura (2001 is highly associated with Futura), and Wes Anderson used Futura fonts all over The Royal Tennenbaums.

On a lighter note, I found it funny that you can get fonts that are exact duplicates of corporate favorites like Pizza Hut and Honda, and so forth...I loved that the ESPN rip off is called "Sports Night".

Yeah, corporate fonts are fun to mis-use. Game fonts can be cool too, Blood Omen, Killer Instinct, Neverwinter Nights and Tron have nicely designed fonts.
