Computer Modern is IMO way too thin and has huge, pointy serifs. I like Palatino (Latex: mathpazo) best, but Garamond - a similar style - is fine, too.

- empthought 5y agoHave you tried Charter?
- ahartmetz 5y agoCharter seems OK, the thickness variation seems somehow strange to me (couldn't decide whether to vary it or not?), but I like that it doesn't vary thickness quite as much as Palatino on numeric digits.
- mananaysiempre 5y agoFor TeX typesetting Utopia (and derivatives like Fourier and Erewhon) is also good if you want something that was designed for book (not journal or newspaper) body text but has a less mediaeval feel (and more Cyrillic, sigh).
