1. We can’t live sans it.
2. It’s easy on the eyes.
3. It has a rich history.
4. It’s minimal, but compelling.
5. It guides us.

From one typo to another – it’s a classic!
Indeed. What typeface(s) did you use for your book?
I used Georgia because it has a classic serif and a large ‘x’ height to give better legibility at smaller point sizes.
Great choice…I was guessing Times, but I read that Georgia has more legibility.
