Question How do you choose font for your design?

Hi,

There are so many different font types. How do you choosing among them for your graphic design?

Everytime I need to look thru one-by-one to list the suitable fonts then choose one from the selected fonts... my eyes become like

Any active web designer forum? Prefer local forum.

@lcf: it depends on your ideas you have in mind.

Normally for Web Designs, many are choosing Tahoma and Verdana today

For press printing, I love to use Myraid, Trebuchet MS, Franklin Gothic families, Helvetica families, Bell MT families (just like the magazines designs )

My point of view. Mind to tell us what are you working on?

I'd go with graphic advertisement. It catch attention more easily instead of boring text just like airasia web page. Maybe you can try something like this?

Graphic advertisement do need some text too. That's the time I am choosing suitable font.

Sorry, I prefer not to reveal information about my company. You know, many bloggers get fired by their companies. I better play safe.
