some new-ish penguin editions use a typeface called dante which i find very pleasant and readable. otherwise i like a nice fat garamond and scotch/century. fear and loathing in las vegas, didion’s play it as it lays and morrissey’s autobiography are my personal gold standards for printed books

for screens georgia, merriweather, tiempos. apple’s charter is fine as well

The business I work at (one of the big four banks) has it's own proprietary font. This is the closest to it that's available outside of our office suite. I have to say that it's really grown on me. Serif fonts on spreadsheets are way underrated
