I've been afraid of using sans serif fonts for a while. I don't know why. I really like them when they're used well.
Anyway, I picked up a few beauties from this amazing name-your-price trendy typeface website, and I've been designing up a storm ever since then.
Exhibit A: This blog's new look. Still working out a few kinks, but so far, I like it.
I took a creative writing seminar once and someone talked about serif vs sans serif. It was interesting. It's hard to read long blocks of text sans serif from what I understand. I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteI love sans serif. All those little extra doohickies must go ... give me minimalist letters!

Love you! Mom XOXOXOXOXOXO
James, hence the main body of the blog remaining serif-ed.
ReplyDeleteFor text blocks, I like the serif-for-printed-page, sans-for-tv/computer-screen rule. My eyeballs agree with it.
