Can anyone recommend good serif and sans serif text faces to use with Felix Titling?
This is an identity project for an historical society & museum. It looks like Felix Titling will be used at display in the mark. I have tried to find a similar face that would work at both display and text sizes-- I've looked at H&FJ Requiem and also Throhand, but their serifs are too fussy at display size. I've also looked at Bembo, but the caps are too heavy at display size.
I'll also need a sans serif, and am looking at H&FJ Verlag--I think this will work well but am open to other suggestions.
Thank you!

Pablo Impallari's Quattrocento would be ideal, IMHO; plus, it's available in both serif and sans.

Although all versions are free, a generous donation is recommended: Pablo's gotta eat, y'know...

No need to recommend a free font in such cases - you'll get better quality when you pay, and Mary seems willing to do so...

Hrant,
With all due respect, I did mention a generous donation. I donated $50.00 to Pablo because I thought his effort was worth at least that much, and--honestly, cheap bastard that I am--probably a whole lot more…
Just sayin’…

Something with “glyphic” serifs perhaps, like Beaufort or Starling (“Times”).
