Our responses to typography are just as subjective as our responses to color or music. While one person finds a particular typeface beautiful, another may wonder, “You think that’s beautiful? Why?” Some typefaces seem to live on forever and always have a place in design (think Helvetica) and others should have been abandoned years ago (pick your favorite over-used typeface).

My top-10 list — and the fonts are arranged alphabetically, not in order of preference — is based solely on how I feel at this moment. Ask me tomorrow and I may say, “Ugh; what was I thinking?”
