What font would you recommend for a University newspaper?

I created a new design for my University newspaper. What font do you recommend, and what style exactly?

I would be happy to know your opinion and maybe even some still useful advice, since this is the first time I'm designing of a newspaper (I use InDesign CS3)

Thank you

Tom

But seriously. For a newspaper, I would avoid without font ("Arial", Helvetica, universe, myriad). Why not try some of the rich classics? A few of them come on the InDesign DVD, but I don't know which. Minion Pro is a very nice, but perhaps too modern. Try Jenson Pro, Caslon Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro. The 'Pro' means that these fonts have extended features, such as the former graphic ornaments (very pretty when used in the proper context!), style old numbering and true small capitals.

Use a classic police will be your journal gives a very high class look. For a large page, you can use columns of three (or four); even on a smaller size of the page, two columns look better than one. It also gives you the advantage of having guidelines for one, one-and-a-half, two or even three images wide column and headlines. Try to go to a fully justified text; tinkering with hyphenation settings until it looks right (I think that default ID parameters are okay for the fairly narrow columns). Use a lot of spacing; This guy don't like being cramped.

Use small caps to the recurring titles such as "CALENDAR"; 'FORUM '. 'LETTERS '. "EDITORIAL". Good headlines, you have the choice of what whether normal type (in a really huge size) bold or italic. Focus on columns for that look of the 18th century

Whatever you do, don't run amok with different fonts! Use a font exclusively for texts 'main '; Use it in a smaller size for the "lesser" texts, such as the photo captions, tables or 'notes '. Don't let someone tell you about in screaming headlines! ; Once you decide on a design, stick and defend when necessary.
