Nice! I would suggest a sans-serif font though, aren't they better for display reading? Hyphenation would be nice too.

- dfan 11y agoThe main historical reason for using sans-serif fonts on displays was the displays' lousy resolution. With modern display technology that reason has mostly disappeared.
- dyladan 11y agoAt what point does the resolution become good enough for serif fonts I wonder? Unfortunately 1366 x 768 is still quite the norm (118 ppi on a 13.3" screen).
- yellowapple 11y agoI find serif fonts to be perfectly readable even on 1280x800 displays.
- DanBC 11y agoOn screens it tends to be the other way around - serifs for headlines and sans-serif for body text. Although it'd be great to see some decent research into readability of different fonts.
- Roodgorf 11y agoI've had so many ideas for studies about the impact of fonts I wish I'd pursued. A psych professor of mine was interested in them and did at least one study that I know of[1], but information on speed and legibility would be fascinating.
