    More fonts may look ugly. So be it. Designers who can't control themselves aren't.

    Go and visit some newspaper websites. Not just any of them. Go for the very top publications you can find. Say The Guardian, New York Times, Times of London, Le Monde. Take your pick.

    Now crop out a story link and excerpt and compare them side by side. Most often the only difference you'll see is the shade of blue and the size of the type. It's all Georgia headlines with Arial copy.

    It's generic. Boring. Rote. If you want to be known in your craft for being generic then by all means, stick to the system fonts.

    • As for the papers, have a look at them in print and you'll have very different resultsWarland
    • nobody fucken cares. Ask people that aren't in your field, ask them if they'd rather have one good font for all textPupsipu
    • or if they want to get used to 10 different fonts with 10 different sizes. People will say they prefer their RSS readersPupsipu
    • where there is ONE font, and they control the size and look, and don't care about which brand is what.Pupsipu
    • ask them before you make assumptions that are based on nothing but opinions and passions in your fieldPupsipu
