To provide a comparison:


Georgia

Times New Roman

In the same way, I used to use Albany as my typeface for san-serif text. As with Thorndale I wanted a darker typeface so I chose Calibri which is both a darker and slightly smaller font that I liked better.
Now we're gitting somewhere. Any more "Hidden" tips out there?
