Font Review- Idlewild

http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100043&path=head

Idlewild is advertised as being comfortable wherever it is place. I would mostly agree, it is a rather versatile font. The Sans-Serif provides a smooth, unobtrusive text that can be used for lots of subtitling and the like. It fits right at home in technical drawing manuals, or plain instructional pamphlets. My main concern though, it it is somewhat wide. And because of that, the versatility may actually be reduced somewhat, say in narrow spaces, or perhaps contrasted with Algerian. So maybe not as useful as advertised, but use with discretion, and you shouldn't go wrong.
