 That is Letraset's Manuscript Capitals from the rub-off letter sheets days. Never been digitized. However I am working on it. No guarantee whatsoever when it will be finished. It is a hell of a job.

 Looking for something that feels ancient or medieval, like on an illuminated manuscript -- except it needs to be readable, since it's a word mark for the school. I kinda like Ar Julian (see image), except there's a tag line underneath and it would be too much all-caps. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am trying to take an unpublished manuscript that I have rights to and print out pages to be bound (the book will be a gift). A lovely local printer gave me instructions to format w/ 1 1/8" margins and use Helvetica narrow and he will send the pages off to be bound as a proper book. However I am on a Mac and it doesn't offer Helvetica narrow. As the purpose of the narrow was to keep the work legible while keeping the number of pages the same / manageable for binding (it's in 12 point TNR now) I am wondering if Helvetica CV, which I do have on my Mac, would work. Any other suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance to the experts who donate their time to help the totally inexperienced, e.g. me.

As swallow said complex. Very complex. It all depends on what sort of manuscript you're working on. What emotional atmosphere do you need/want to create?
Frutiger is designed for legibility and legibility only. Which makes it a good choice for technincal information, charts etc. Anything where emotions play no role and only the facts count. I would never choose it for say book text or commercial printwork. For the same reason I would also not use it for headers.
That said, if you are thinking of a serif type in combination with the Frutiger I would go for a very 'simple/minimalistic' one. I mean as less fancy as possible, to avoid a conflict with the 'factual' character of the Furtiger. The Clarendon [Light] represents the sort of type I mean. Not 'strong' enough? Think about a slab-serif like the Stymie.
Complex, like swallow said. Complex.
