But surely everyone can agree that a good typeface is easy to read, right? A surprising number of older authors name Courier as the font they prefer to write in because it resembles the characters of a typewriter and therefore kindly suggests that the current draft is still available for improvement. The story of how Helvetica became the preeminent typeface of our times has inspired a documentary film, while loathing of Comic Sans has prompted what can only be called a typographical jihad. People have their favorites, for reasons both practical and sentimental.
On the subject of fonts (or, typefaces, to use the more technically accurate term), feelings often run high.
