Hi! I'm working on a product-brochure (correct spelling?) for my company. And they are currently using Verdana (bah) as the main font. I SEREOUSLY want to change that!

I've been thinking about this font: Jason Text. (http://www.linotype.com/879/jansontext-family.html)

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

oh border line font question.. lol i usually close font threads but this is more a design question.
------------

Jason text is nice, but originally the text was a sans serif and now you want to change it to serifs? that will change the look of the brochure and might change the feel overall of the company corporate image. depending on the logo and font usage of the companies corporate id i would then consider if and what font i would use.

alternatives to verdana, can be arial, myriad pro, stone sans etc..
check the sticky "what font" and search throughout those links provided for more sans or serif fonts.

;)

btw:: if the font change going to be body copy or titles or overall?

i totally agree with this, be careful about changing the font, it might change the meaning of the text also :shifty:

well, we are currently using Verdana. I want to change from Verdana to Jason Text. This company has sufferd from a lot of terrible designers, and I need to redesign the entire brochure. And therefor I need a new font. I'm not asking for an alternative to Verdana - but I wondered if you guys like Jason text and/or know about any other nice fonts...

Any thoughts are welcome!

Thank's
