Digital Text Design

What are the best and worst fonts to display on a webpage? I'll list three of each. The three best fonts (in no particular order): Palatino: The typeface I used (and using again) for the New Utrecht Reformed Church website I run. Palatino feels appropriate for a church website. Old Standard: The typeface used for this blog. Text from serifs such as Old Standard seem to me to read better than san-serifs. Goudy Old Style: The font I used for the letterhead of the Friends of Historic New Utrecht and also for its newsletter I published in the mid 2000s. Goudy seems to appreciate the sense of history conveyed by Friends events. Now the three worst fonts (again in no particular order): Arial: While sometimes it is used very well, often this "generic sans serif; almost a bland sans serif" is used "very badly" because it is used so often. Arial is cheap-looking especially when used in items such as letters and layouts with boring designs. Times New

If one has to read the Bible on the web or an app then  esv.org is the place to do it. Esv.org is the home of the English Standard Version (ESV), a revision of the Revised Standard Version by evangelical scholars and first published in 2001, and the only Bible available on the site. Published by Crossway, many printed editions of the ESV use a high standard of typography and materials; even the Economy Bible looks great to read and is probably the best economy Bible I've ever used. There are a number of study materials of an evangelical viewpoint, many of which are available by subscription, However, the Apocrypha, first published in 2008 and available only in print and paid e-book, is not included. The site uses a Century-style medium font. The lines are well-spaced though the white background is a bit too bright for reading as blue light is allowed to come in. One would prefer a parchment-style background. Otherwise the site seems to use a high standard for web publishing jus
