Kys. Books printed in sans serif are literal garbage: Sans serif is the bugman's and manchild's choice of font; any man of integrity knows serif is the correct choice. Times New Roman is my forever go-to.

Go to hell. I hate the (very few) books that are printed in a sans serif font (with maybe a few exceptions).

Bembo is best -- at least when it's nicely inked. That said, Times NR is v. nice.

Boomer mentality. The ratio of sans-serif to serif books will literally inverse in the next 20 years, and you will remain luddites

did a quick check and it seems from even quicker deduction that the vast majority of the books i own and currently have with me (around 100) use a serif font. it's common cheap books, old and new, and a few that are a little bit more rare. even the small independant publisher that prints texts from working-class guys telling about their experiences in the workplace use a serif font. is there a country on earth that uses sans serif more commonly that you OP feel shocked to find serif somewhere ? lol

"white women" think futura was some kind of fascist plot, so unless they miraculously flip hard after debernification you're probably looking at another 15 years of goofy cheesecake factory vinyl window shutter bullshit typefaces at least

You probably studied graphic design. Any cool type related anecdotes or interesting books?
