In reply to Good typeface for poetry...suggestions:
Hi Joshua, thank you for replying,
The poems are written by James Joyce, its hard to pin down to a unifying theme, but i guess it all boils down to "life and death, emotion or the lack of emotion"
Poems are between 9 and 15 lines, and approximately 4-6 words on a line
I would like to have it a bit contemporary but with a bit of a twist (no Caslon...etc.
Mixing two serifs is not a must, at first i thought about giving the titles a different face, or maybe give the French translation of the poem a different face than the English version.
When the book is open, left page has the English version on it, right page has the French version so its important that they work nice next to each other.
It must not be a serif but for the french i'd prefer a serif. But i'm open for all suggestions
Hope this info helps a bit.
