disclaimer: these are not all typefaces i would recommend, they are just decent examples. magis authentic (i spelled it wrong in the image lol) doesn't have fonts but i added it as a recc because i like it (to some extent), though. i absolutely adore types like gishella morely, but something like linux libertine is not exactly my forte.
