I say I'd prefer American Typewriter. It has some class to it. It's stylish and somewhat old fashioned, but still very clean. I like.

I like the subtle light variation. Might not be very useful on a big poster, but it sure is nice to the eye

You know how text on websites is limited to universal fonts like Arial, Times, Verdana, etc.? Well font embedding allows you to use whatever fonts you want without having to make them images.
