I was drawn to Myriad Pro from a selection of older font books I found available digitally through Adobe.
An example from the book shows the text in larger, condensed, italic, and capital, among other various formats. The book keeps it simple, with a plain white background and paragraphs of texts in different weights, languages, and weights, as exampled below on an earlier page.
This font is quite sharp, clean, and simple, as it can be used in signs, tickets, maps, which it also shows in the book, which I found very interesting as well. The bold font used here still manages to let a lot be seen from a distance.
