June was always a strange baby that was not made for copy first. But for some reason Martin Farren Lee, the former art director of Arena magazine used it in an art catalogue in 5 pt and it still worked fine. Considering the massive x-height it sounds strange. Years ago I had a dispute about June in Typophile with Hrant (the guy who spends his life in Typophile) where he insited that the x-height of June is fare to big. W-magazine and Harvey Nichols magazine is still using it. The Thin and Fine weights are just added to the family In copy you should not get heavier than Heavy. Extrabold and Ultrabold work best in display. NewJuneSerif          |
