How I did it:
Finally I managed to find the time to implement Meta Web on my portfolio, thanks to Font Shop and to Typekit now I have a good looking site, also I will put Meta on my CV so it all looks witha consistent image.
:)
Why Meta?
Mainly because is designed by Erik Spiekermann, I really admire him as designer and like him as a person in general, I understand he was one of the founders of Fontshop (where I've got this font) the first font vendor for digital fonts, I believe even before the web went widespread. I love his sense of humor and I wish one day I can have the great chance to learn directly from him.
Now he is not part of Meta design which still exist and was one of the first design agencies in the US who did interaction design. Now he has Edenspiekermann, based in Berlin and the Netherlands, his departure from Meta design made him reformulate himself one and over again.
To me, Spiekermann is not only a designer but a humanist and that's why I picked up his font, which is always going to be current and stylish without being trendy or overused.
Happy and satisfied I said?
well...

He is my favorite designer, as much for his designs as for his personality :)
He is also the creator of Font Shop, first digital font service in the history.
Here are some videos of him talking11 months ago
