Fonts for brochure

[Meg24]

I am putting together a catering menu brochure. I am trying to find a good font that will be easy to read. Right now I have Helvetica at 10pt because I have to fit so many items (I would like the font to be at least 12 but I don't see that happening.) I have heard that Helvetica is overused and some people recommend against using it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good font for this project?

Thank you.

Can't really recommend a font without viewing the project. You can't just use any font - and at times there's absolutely nothing wrong in using Helvetica if it works perfectly with the project.

If you are having trouble fitting a lot of text into a small space, you could try using one of the fonts that has a condensed member.
