When you’re making your own choices, be sure to keep in mind common fonts for your genre and your own book layout. We’ll end today with my top fonts for fiction and nonfiction works.

Then we have Interface a great web font that is also used for magazines and textbook printing. Baskerville is great for long-form novels. Here we have three common print fonts with distinct uses.
