- propter_hoc 6y agoThanks for the suggestions! I checked them all out. Lyon, Ivar and Arnhem are quite nice substitutes for Times. The others I find a bit too "designed" to be used as straight substitutes. Their design is quite striking, and risks distracting from the message in long paragraph text. Particularly Gliko, which is beautiful for titling but I can't imagine reading more than a few sentences of it. I'm personally quite partial to the Adobe fonts for book text: * Adobe Garamond https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/adobe-garamond#fonts-section https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/adobe-garamond#fonts-section * Adobe Caslon https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/adobe-caslon#fonts-section https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/adobe-caslon#fonts-section * And to some degree, even Minion https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/minion https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/minion
