Besides huge headlines and regular text, which is obvious, I don't know which font "feels" go with which kind of copy/layout/situation.

cherub, you should exercise with different fonts -serif, humanistic, roman...- and maybe that feel you mention, should then be revealed by the context.
I believe the difference is not only in the details of each font, or each glyph of the font, but may also be noticed in a big block of text. "Regular" text does not have to be standardized; a block of text has a color, has character, and even a sound... Maybe I'm being to anal, but I strongly recommend you to try new stuff!
- word "anal" and "try new stuff" in the same sentence, pun def intended ;Pmaquito

- It's vibrant and spacy! I been messing around looking at letters, and I do like the uppercase verdana J better, andcherub
- I have discovered that some forms are not as likeable, like the lowercase opensans g for instance, but at tiny sizes are more readable.cherub
- I would have guessed those unusual forms of letters would be less, not more readable. So that came as a surprise.cherub

Oh I see what you mean about blocks of text. I never saw the distinction, I guess it's talking about eyes moving down and recognizing shapes rather than moving across(headlines)

At the moment I still enjoy working with Stag. Elena is another I'm using quite a bit too.
