I've been given the task of creating a newsletter and need a bit of font advice.

I'm looking for a font to use for the header. I'd like something slick and modern while remaining clear and easy to read.

Anyone got any recommendations?

I would use Frutiger. Looks nice on the eye IMO.

I have the whole set, so if you want it then drop me a line.

Other bits of advice are, steer clear of the Word/Publisher templates for newsletters - they look hideous and will give the impression that you have knocked it up in 5 mintes. Also try and stay away from the bland Times New Roman, Arial etc.

NO WAY!

Don't touch frutiger with a bargepole - not even a very long one. It's totally hideous.

I'd reccomend something like Meta or Helvetica (quite similar to Arial). :)

Arial and Times New Roman - the fonts that people did not bother to change when starting word! ;)

Frutiger maybe hideous in your opinion, but there is much worse out there...
