I have found myself using Tyfa (Storm) a lot lately. I’ve paired it with small amounts of Stainless or Amplitude (Font Bureau). I’ve also just completed a project where I combined Farnham (Font Bureau) with Whitney (Hoefler+Frere-Jones).

Farnham...I need to look into that one (uh-oh...better put my wallet away).

Glad you mentioned it, Tiffany.

For something entirely different, I recently used Dearest (P22) for display and Dyna Grotesk RE (Storm) for text and Eldorado (Font Bureau) for the tiny stuff.

Folio Bold Condensed, Brush Script, Milwaukee (Font Diner), Futura Condensed.

Nick,
Thanks, I needed comic relief just now :-)

Dez. Did you look at his cover? I thought the same thing and then looked and though wow those really do work well for that application.

I can’t like anything that has Futura Condensed in it. I’m not allowed by my religion. O:)

Just discovered the other day: Samba + Gotham Light (all caps).

I won’t mention the 10 blackletters for fear of being struck dead.

I think I’m working out a Dolly/Formata mix at the moment.

I like this thread. I’d like to see some informal samples posted of the pairings for fun.

Bodoni Poster Italic and Avenir.

Scala and Scala Sans. Not a very imaginative choice, but this pair works on so many levels.

Miller/Meta has been almost too easy for me. Perhaps this thread will persuade me in a different direction.

hey guys here are some combinations that I’ve come across:
1) Archer with Verlag
3) Meta with Minion
4) Trajan with Gill sans
5) Formata with dolly
6) Dolly with FF quadraat sans
7) Din with Warnock
8) Din with caecillia

wow axe trajan w/ gill sans, not sure how that ended up on my list ...
