Hello all,

I’m getting ready to tackle a redesign of a magazine called revenue. It’s all about performance marketing online. Currently, Gotham (headlines) and Whitman (body) are used. Because the masthead uses Whitman, I will continue to use it for the body copy. However, I would like to freshen things up a bit and I’m looking for any suggestions you may have as a replacement for Gotham.

The revenue readers are apparently very savvy entrepeneur types. So I’m looking for a font that is modern, forward looking and solid...perhaps even edgy. It also needs to be a fairly large family.

I looked back at a previous post. In the past, I asked for a companion font to Whitman. Quadraat Sans, Giacomo and Malmo Sans were recommended. What do you think of those? Of those three I prefer Malmo Sans. I’m pretty sure I like it but am hoping to be pointed in a few other directions before I decide.

So any advice you have is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Tamara
