Nr.2 - Like em brighter colors better.


The colors are exactly the same, haha. OK top seems to be the favored design.

NEXT QUESTION What font would you pair with an image like this? Keep in mind this image and style is going to be a consistent element for the design of a textbook.

That being said I'm looking for a full font family (or 2) that can be used across headlines, body text, captions, etc.
I'm considering Geometric faces and potentially some neo-grotesque faces. I'm currently looking closesly at Avenir, Univers, or Avant Garde (although avant garde looks like shit as body type).

Any suggestions would be helpful.

try ubuntu?

not sure what neo-grotesque steers towards, but ubuntu light is good for headings and body type

Neo-Grotesque is really similar to Geometric sans serif. They aren't quite as squared (think Univers, DIN).

Ubuntu is nice, but I think DIN might work better. Ubuntu is more of a humanist sans-serif.

Going with DIN. It's super versatile and works across the format as header, body, and caption text.

EDIT: Unless anyone has better suggestion. I like the geometric feel to this face, so something similar (but maybe more versatile?) would be great.

Din is good, what's the logo for?

also give things white space when presenting.
