Best sans serif font(s)?
I'm working on some small text, Open Sans is a bit too """open""", I'm kinda stuck between Lato and Segoe. Needs to be between 8 and 10pt (the booklet size isn't confirmed) - any suggestions?

Gill Sans if it's preloaded on your PC, otherwise Segoe > Lato.
If you're willing to pirate, try: Meta, Myriad, Frutiger, Scala Sans, Proxima Nova, DIN, or even.........

I'd have to wait until I'm at work and nick it off the PC there, although I think we just have Neue?
I'll check out those other ones, see if any have the right vibe
I really like Montserrat or Bebas Kai

>Montserrat
it's aight but only has regular and bold
>Bebas *
it's aight but only has upper case letters
nothing wrong with good ol' Proxima Nova or Gotham tho

I thought Helvetica was not a body typeface. Am I mistaken?
Aileron is pretty neat.

Ha, that's why it's at the end of the list. It's done so often that it's acceptable, but I agree with you that it's uncomfortable to read at length.
Although Josef Muller Brockmann did set his entire Grid Systems book in Helvetica so maybe it is a body face?

depends on the mood you want to achieve but these are the best imo
grotesque: neue haas grotesk
geometric: gotham
humanist: scala sans
Try Nimbus Sans

It's had different weights for ages, and it just got updated to include true italics this year.
