Serif.
I changed the type to a serif thinking maybe this would be a middle ground between the clean thin sans serif I started with and the monospaced courier I went to second. What does everyone think? Better solution?
to judge whether better solution, I'd need to know what your objective is. the discussion on Monday had to do with the "meaning" of courier, how it felt more casual or even "amateurish," which would align it with the "amateur" instant photographs. how is this "middle" ground? middle, between what? both the initial sans serif, and the courier, were thin. all of these typefaces look fine, in a way, so the question really becomes, what are you trying to achieve with the overall look?
