Nice, in my opinion,Sans is better for Titles,and a serif font is better for the body of an article. Also either push the header to the left,or align the left column with the top of the header,because right now the layout looks unbalanced. EDIT : In my opinion the left column is unnecessary.The site could work with 1 column,and the content of the left column could either be push in the header or a footer. Just my 2 cents ;) Nice Job again,it's responsive !

I personally find serif harder to read as a body font on web pages, so I think their combo is fine. My gripe with the layout is that it's aligned to the left, so with my high-resolution monitor there is a ton of white space on the right side.

Are you seeing Serifs for Titles? Should be all san-serif. If so, can you send me a screenshot and browser you're using?

    Oh, you're referring to Posthaven's styles.

      The fonts spacing on posthaven (eg 'facelift') seems a bit unique/interesting. Its not the serifs itself, IMHO.

I think sans-serifs are better for small body text because of the limited amount of available pixels, especially ones that are created with screens in mind and are specifically handhinted to facilitate clarity and crispness. Serifs are generally more appealing to the eye, but with limited resolutions (say, to 150ppi) can be shown in their full glory only in bigger sizes, making them great for titles on websites. My favorites are slab-serifs (Rockwell and Chunk Five work nice) or transitional serifs (I like Playfair Display) for titles, and something like Open Sans or Helvetica Neue for body text. Looks great :)
