• Serif: Palatino Linotype, Garamond, Liberation Serif
  • Sans serif: Noto Sans Display
  • Monospace: Liberation Mono

The sans serif and mono fonts are what I have my computer set to; they’re very pleasant to the eye. For writing, I prefer serif fonts because of the improved readability with large portions of text, especially on paper.

    Liberation Sans and Liberation Serif are broadly my faves for reading. I enforce these across the system and the browser. Although I have a nostalgic soft spot for Computer Modern from writing LaTeX documents all throughout University.

    These days I live in my terminal and I really rate DeJaVu Sans Mono. It’s just gorgeous and has a lot of Unicode coverage which I value because I need to use non-English characters a fair amount.

    Jokerman 😎 or maybe Wingdings 😎😎😎 but seriously probably Blackadder, I’d copy that when I homemade D&D maps, it feels organic but elegant.

    Honorable mentions: Verdana, Times New Roman, (they’re just classics to me idk), Agency, Algerian, have some downloaded fonts that I love like Happy Days (sloppy typewriter font), Germanika (medieval book font), Headliner No. 45 (chipped paint government announcement poster type font), a couple others I can’t remember by name like an art deco font, a scifi font, a Dwarven font, etc. I love all the big name recognizable meme fonts from the 00s, a la Papyrus, Poor Richard, Eskargot, that one cowboy one lol, I love seeing them IRL like on logos and the like.

      For some reason TNR is one of those fonts that I don’t hate, it just feels like such a “default” font (which it is for many, many people). Seeing it just makes me wish people would branch out a bit.

        It definitely is, for me I just like it so much because it’s a comfort because I spent so much of my childhood and adolescence on Microsoft Word 2007.

    I was never much of a font aficionado, but I like consolas as a good monospace font.

    Depends on the use of course but I draw a lot of cartoony stuff so stylized but readable fonts are my favs. KomikaKaps, Bodo Amat, and CoolDogPlain are all good
