  • Divergently, this word looks almost good in every font :)moamoa
  • ITC Garamond is not good. It's too wide, the slopes are too slopry...it looks like a serif font drawn in the 70's, which is actually true in this case.gramme

  For me, the letter "Q" is very important in determining whether or not a font looks good. Not sure why. Maybe I like the letter a lot and don't realize it...

  • Q is a great letter
    ********
  • Q has been underrated in our daily literature.vrmbr
  • Even though in English it's being used in Quite a few words. In Dutch not so much at all... :(vrmbr
  • in Dutch we use KW instead of Q. Same pronunciation. Daft eh?vrmbr
  • the most commonly ugly letter is the uppercase R

  I like Minion Pro
  http://www.fontshop.com/search/?…

  Adobe Garamond Premier Pro
  http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/…

  Adobe Caslon Pro
  http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/…

  And then of course Mercury, Chronicle (don't have this one yet), Hoefler.

  I like Fedra Serif B, but I hate the italics. They look really squished.
