Accessible, inclusive fonts have been playing on my mind lately. So I've spent some time researching options for a workhorse body font.
I've considered a few things:
- Font must be highly legible and practical in a wide variety of formats. This includes print, digital, signs, TV, smartboard, soggy paper, laminated sheets, etc. Digital alone has a whole array of sub-categories to consider, including good quality screen, poor quality, low resolution, small screen, large screen, e-ink, etc.
- Should come in many weights and styles and be feature rich (at least of regular + bold + italic)
- Should be free or inexpensive.
