When I'm reading, I don't really care if it's in sans serif, times new roman, or some hand script. As long as the font is easily readable, it is about transferring data and information to the brain, much less on how it's done.
Truth be told, I wouldn't even notice if there was a minor font change from one page to the next, and if I do, I jist ignore it and continue reading.
Talking about fonts, this forum often uses different font sizes when browsing it on a mobile device. I doubt many have noticed how sometimes some posts or replies are in smaller fonts than others (using the stock font sizes)

A lot of those style decisions are meant to more efficiently move that information to your brain, based on content. For example, paragraph spacing for non-fiction can make a text easier to scan, whereas indents for fiction can help you maintain momentum when moving from one paragraph to the next. So you may not be a car guy, but I bet you'll agree that a racecar isn't well suited for a move, and a moving truck isn't well-suited for a race.
