the proverbial deserted island

Graphic designers, unlike the rest of the population, ask the question like this, "If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only take 6 typefaces with you, what would those be?"

At this point in life, my response is:

Caslon, Garamond, Cochin, Trade Gothic, Scala Sans, Avenir.

When asked about Times New Roman:

If I were stranded on a deserted island and all I had was Times New Roman, I'd burn it.
