I have many favorite fonts. I tend to switch them out depending on what I'm in the mood for.

For today, my favorite font is DEUTSCH GOTHIC created by James Fordyce.

Very simple and easy to manipulate. It could work very well for a Logo. For common use I wouldn't recommend it.

You can list or mention your favorite fonts below. I recommend keeping it free license and mentioning the original creator if you see it and also make sure if it's not free license, to mention it (usually you have to pay if it's not).

I never used it but I always thought it looked nice.

In terms of creating a logo, it really depends on what the logo is being made for, I feel. But, as for fancy fonts, Old English Script MT, which is slightly similar to your Deutsch Gothic, is one of my personal favorites. I have learned to hand-draw much of it for titular headings, but then again, that style of lettering is fun to mess around with, as is something like Juice, which is a graffiti style font.

I can't stand looking at old English or any medieval style fonts. They are too detailed for me and just looks like it's trying too hard.

I'm the opposite though in that they're my personal favorites . The over-detailed , over-stylized design of it is what interests me most , probably because I'm an artist myself .

But yes , they're notoriously difficult to read in this day and age under the default size (the defaults of it's kind are usually large , about 18-20px) . It works though during it's time simply because they don't use them to write out the entire essay on or that they would write it small (their books are usually large after all) . That's why I don't use them at all .

This may not be gothic or medieval, but this is a font that I think is both older and has a strong classic vibe. And very simple and easy to read.
