Well, I dont know what im looking for, im turning to you and others with some experience with bodyfonts for books, just to hear what you think and like, and then i check them out and see what i like.
And it a siencebook, about robotics etc.

I've noticed many novels will list the typeface used on a page at the very end of the book.
Perhaps you can find one you like that way.
