I have this image of a scanned copy of a book (The Tipping Point) taken from "Look Inside" preview of the book at Amazon. It seems like pretty standard font, but the "Oldness" in it makes it pleasurable.
Also, what are your favourite fonts and why do you like them? |
I'm not an expert, but I *think* that font is a version of Palatino. It was created in 1948 and is probably the most common font used in German books (although I don't think that there is usually quite that much spacing between the letters). Whenever I see that font, I feel like I'm reading something in German.
I like fonts with serifs and tend not to like fonts without (for reading). I like a lot of different fonts, for different reasons. I've always liked how high the vertical strokes are in this particular font. Whatever that means...
