Hi,

some time ago we discussed the Hoefler text as bread font, but nobody
would suggest fonts to combine with it. I have been experimenting with
this, and based on the idea that combining fonts from the same
typographer should usually work, used the Gotham for sans-serif and the
Operator for mono-spaced (in my work, monospaced is used mostly for
computer code). I am not an artist, so the only bad thing about this
combination I noticed is the `l´ in the italic version of the Operator,
that sticks out too much (although it is nicely different from `i`, `I´
`l´ and `1´). What do you think? What would be the alternatives?
