Indeed, blue titles evoke MS Word. As pointed out, a PDF rendered with this style would be great help in understanding it. Perhaps it's a good choice for on-screen reading, but shouldn't you go with serif typefaces when laying out for print?
- johnchristopher 11y agoA long time ago I did some googling (aka `research') on the subject and indeed I found out that using serif for printed documents is non negotiable ; it's supposed (and I agree with that) to let the eyes decrypt words faster and smoother than when reading sans serif. Oddly enough sans serif is easier to decipher on screens. I don't know yet which kind of fonts I should use on my e-reader though. The web seems to think it's a matter of taste and adequacy nowadays: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/03/serif-vs-sans-the-final-battle/ http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/03/serif-vs-sans-the-fi... http://designshack.net/articles/typography/serif-vs-sans-serif-fonts-is-one-really-better-than-the-other/ http://designshack.net/articles/typography/serif-vs-sans-ser... http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type-anatomy/serif-vs-sans-for-text-in-print http://www.fonts.com/content/learning/fontology/level-1/type...
