I searched for many years, boy. To the ends of the earth. Had many adventures and earned enough to bed many women and eat well. But my quest was fruitless until, one day, I sat down and searched myself. Gather round, lads, and I'll tell you what I've discovered in all my years.

For a traditional book, there is no better font than a classic Serif. My personal favorite at the moment is Sorts Mill Goudy, which I find has a certain elegance that feels timeless to me, but there are others with subtle shifts (notably in the numbers) that you may prefer. Still, this type of font is best for a traditional work.

For anything on a screen, a simple Sans Serif is best. While they are not all the same, there are many here that are notably clean and are the perfect pairing for the modern computer screen. Roboto, Source Sans Pro, San Francisco, Inter, etc. Another user mentioned IBM Plex, for example, which I find awkward at larger sizes, but near perfect when presented at 10pt and under. It's strange but the lower you go, the better.

Finally, for printing on normal paper (8.5x11, white) things like letters, essays, poetry, and rough drafts of novels, etc., there is nothing, and I mean nothing, better nor more aesthetically pleasing than a classic typewriter. Truly, I tell you. Give yourself a little space between the lines and add a small amount to your margins and oh how I wish I could experience it again for the first time. I'd encourage you to get a real old typewriter, but I'm aware this is unrealistic for most. This also makes it the most difficult to recreate and there are shockingly few good at it and it all too often becomes cartoonish kitsch. My favorites at the moment are made by Information Architects under their iA Writer branding. Their designers are a little pretentious, but their free set of three fonts are so far the best I've discovered that both display well on the screen and print well on the page.

Now, I must rest.

Godspeed, my dear boys. Godspeed.
