I had a hard time finding exactly what i wanted that matched up in a timeline; however i was able to come up with this timeline, it only covers two type faces, but it covers a few decades between the two. First i chose Caslon on the time line i have Adobe Caslon pro; which is just a newer version of it, but still very similar. "when in doubt use caslon" this was a quote i found that i thought was pretty cool, it reminded me of something Adrienne would say about Helvetica. widely used font and even used in the Declaration of independence, it shortly fell in and out of prevalence. but still a very readable face, and very standard for business documents and prints.
next i went with Gill sans; by Eric Gill purposely designed for readability and legible face. first used on rail way signs. Gill sans is also on that when in doubt you can turn to very readable and popular choice for prints and large material.
