Clarendon for text?

The typophiles discuss the utility of Clarendon for text, given that is reads bolder than other text typefaces. The comments were generally positive. Some suggest Clarendon-like alternatives, including

  • Sentinel (1999, Hoefler Frere Jones). I quietly disagree---I find Sentinel a bit too sanitized and 21st century clean.
  • Century Schoolbook in one of its many forms. All based on Morris Fuller Benton's Century Schoolbook from 1915-1923.
  • Guardian Text Egyptian (2004-2005, Christian Schwartz).
