I recently discovered a new typeface called Archer, by Hoefler and Frerer-Jones.

I really like it, but I think it could have limited uses?

I talk about it on my blog:  http://carlyhitchcock.wordpress.com/

WHat do people think?

Worth the money? Or just another display face?

    Archer recently became the corporate typeface for Wells Fargo, who uses it for display and body copy. It works very well for them. I must say that I have come to love working with this typeface. I especially love the elegant terminals on letters such as the S and C, and the wide variety of weights offers many applications for this type family. Also, the opentype features that come with these fonts are well-designed and very useful.

    I have recieved mixed reviews from clients - some say it is too typewriterish, some love it - but I have found this to be a very versatile typeface.

    I'd love to continue this discussion ...

    Cheers,

    Brad
