Book & Magazine Fonts

A good variety of choices of headlines and text fonts are necessary for book and magazine design. In classical book and magazine publishing, serif fonts have most often been chosen for text, as these have historically been seen as the most legible in longer passages. On the other hand, Modern literature is commonly set with sans serif fonts, because of their associations with 20th Century Modernism. Additionally, Headlines and experimental design allow for more creative styles of fonts, as they are often used in larger sizes. Magazines and newspapers often combine serif and sans serif fonts on one page, i.e., serif fonts for body text, sans serif for headlines or captions.
