Seriously, what is your essay about? The font choice should reflect the tone of the essay, while at the same time maintain readability. Try to limit yourself to 1 font if you can, and 2 at the most (one font for your headlines, and the other for your body text).

If you want to be unusual, you could hand-write it for half, and then start type the other half, and have the two sort of blend together in the middle. Just a thought

Wait a second. Are you writing a paper for school or is your client an arts institution? If (a), then, um, you know just pick something. If (b), then we really can't answer this question for you without seeing the arts institution's identity first. This question is like asking "What wine should I have with dinner?" when we have nary a clue what you're planning to shove in your gob.

The better question is "should I wear skinny jeans in my flatly lit self-consciously ironic self portraits?" and the answer is yes—because who really needs blood circulation in their man-parts most of the time, I mean really. REALLY.

I think the fact that many of you seem to believe there's no such thing as a design consideration for printed text really says something about the quality of work you must produce.

it´s your brief that sucked buster. if i wanted somebody´s feedback, i´d make sure to provide the people i´m asking with proper context for the problem. not acting like a dick usually also helps a lot.
