Question Need ideas for a clear, easy to read, font for a gift album

I'm partial to the typewriter look, but am really open to anything. Overwhelmed by the choices I guess but also I'm picky and nothing is jumping out at me. What's your favorite, either typewriter or anything else that you love.

Thanks!

Edit - I just uploaded the three pages I have done to the gallery. I'm also looking for title font ideas. Thanks!

I will 2nd Traveling Typewriter. It is "cleaner" than VT Portable Remington and easier to read. If you want something (non-typewriter) that's really clean and classy, try Kalinga.

Travelling Typewriter and Trixie Plain are two of my fave typewriter fonts.

If you want something more handwritten/casual you could try Festus or Rockford.

My favourite typewriter font that I use a lot (you can see it in my Project 365 pages) is Love Letter TW. It's probably not as clear as you would like though, but plenty clear enough for me.

As for a clear font, non-typewriter, you can't go past Century Gothic in my opinion.

For a typewriter font, I love F25 Executive which I use on my 365 pages.

For a non-typewriter font, I'm partial to Blue Highway.

For typewriter, I'll vote for Traveling Typewriter also tho American Typewriter and Another Typewriter are quite clear. Then there's Selectric for a modern one. Otherwise, right now I'm partial to Futura and Oceania
