OK, now I understand better.

I have to confess that I prefer to have neutral fonts. I want the text and the words to speak, not the fonts. If I notice the font I become annoyed and may replace it with something very bland. Except perhaps if used very sparingly in special passages or chapter headings.

Therefore, all common font impersonal. It leaves just the content.
But there is a downside impersonal font - it generates awareness and perception of the robot.
You yourself have noticed that you get used to perceive the impersonal, but it does not work with ordinary people: the weak, emotional, unwilling to obey reasonable algorithms, behavior and thinking.
And there are still only change their personality, and perceive them as erroneous elements of the social system. And when that happens in a person, it is reflected in his handwriting font. And the impersonality of the information begins to interfere with the show his identity as dominant as of right, because now you want to communicate with their fellows, with an equal and equally valid in the performance of algorithms, an element of society.
Now the text font is a priority because it creates a dialog thinking of specific individuals: feeding information and take it.
Which in turn is a corrective mechanism for the individual in the side of those algorithms, which are incorporated in handwriting font.
In short, everything comes down to the fact that there is a level algorithm distinguishes man from beast, and that is what has always been a priority in education and human development. And if you allow people to animals algorithms dominate the other, it leads to suicide ... Proven global statistics in the field of forensic psychiatry and criminology.

(I worked for a long time in the study of creating super-efficient people, and the study of degenerates, and had access to a wide range of information. If you want to talk about it, please contact ме.)

I am in Adoby's camp.
Basic fonts for the body of the work.
Occasional 'Fun stuff' done to Titles, Headings and first Paragraphs

I detest books that have been stripped of all typography just because someone else might want to read them on a 2 inch phone screen.

I also detest huge (>10%) top margins for all chapters.

My goal
1) Readability on typical, mainstream usage READING devices
2) Visual Balance on typical (5-7") dedicated devices , not the size extremes.
3) Varying base style. No OSFA, cookie cutter styling. BUT I do normally want uniform styling within a series. They are a series and should follow a theme once--if any was started.
4) occasional use of fleurons and other embellishments.

Isn't that what the paper edition book designers have been doing for decades? Maybe they are on to something

Let's explain it easier. You are talking about induction: the way of standardization for the total number of readers. I'm talking about the deduction, from standardized by the total number of readers to the individual perception.
For example, I'm a fan of Hercule Poirot played by David Suchet. My house is decorated in a Victorian style. I dress according to the fashion, and I prefer to read the text in the style of the font, which is then printed. That is, I create around themselves a complete and detailed atmosphere.
Everyone is their own. That's what I'm saying.

@Asche

Personally I find the font you are posting in difficult to read in the context of this forum. Just curious to what you think it says about you or how you are trying to affect those reading it, as this seems to be a field you are studying and trying to apply.

Do you mean the font that I use to post on this forum? Gothic offered by molding? Its hard to read?
Just basically the browser I see my gothic, when change it in the messages, and in IE I see the standard everywhere ... Therefore, it is difficult to say what it unreadable.
As a woman, the answer, as far as important for a woman to create an image that will long hold a man beside him and encourage him to serious business? This is one of the main functions of a woman. The man is making history. And some form of letters - and there's a part of history, to which he wants to belong to a man. Become a part of history - one of the algorithms of immortality. There are several, and they are different - but that's the only purpose of this man.
I used to write messages to their gothic font. It helps me to remember the ties with the past and to the future. So I my actions embedded in a model of the evolution of mankind. What fundamentally distinguishes me from bio-robots with primitive algorithms operate in a faceless society.
This is an internal reality, and everyone builds it for himself. Each is different, but the goal of all one - within the framework of personal development, to meet the criteria of the evolution of mankind. Simply put, become a bit immortal.
Example: Christ, Buddha, Linus Torvalds, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, etc.

Yes, smaller face than other posts,
tight letters, small line spacing.
If I was to judge you by your font Tightwad

It is hard to read in that it is noticeably smaller and squarer then the default font used by almost all others.

From what I can fathom from your posts, and it is not easy for me to figure out what you are trying to say, you feel that fonts can be used to control perceptions just as use of language in NLP.

I am interested in knowing the answer to my question, but I don't understand what you are saying. I admire you for posting in a language you have a poor command of, it takes guts, but the result seems rambling and incomprehensible for the most part.

And I take mild offense at the idea that a woman's main purpose is to bind a man to her (her is the proper feminine pronoun, not him). I must counter with "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" In other words a woman might want a man, and go out of her way to get a man but that is not her main purpose in life, except in the view of the exceptionally unenlightened.

I'll ask again then, because I am curious. Did you have a purpose for choosing this font, (for example standing out, forcing people to squint or expand and unexpand the browser settings if they wanted to read it, just looks cute when it is tiny)?

Yes the font you are using to post on this forum. It is more difficult to read, especially when the person reading it has older eyes. I have passed by this thread without reading it because of the fact that you chose to use a non-standard font.
