> use a serif font for the main text,really,you can keep the headlines sans.
All the web usability studies and web design books I've read that address typography have stated that most people prefer sans-serif typefaces on screens. And the typefaces used by all the top sites reflect this.
- ggreer 13y agoI don't have a strong preference either way, but it's important to note that those recommendations came before retina displays. Serif fonts can't be rendered accurately on low-DPI displays. As more people get high-DPI displays, I bet serif fonts will be used more in body text.

- ggreer 13y agoUmm... That's what I said. "As more people get high-DPI displays, I bet serif fonts will be used more in body text." I was making a prediction, not stating that designers should use one or the other.
