Webpage Fonts - Which Performs Best ?
 

What type of font and size does everyone use on their websites ? I have seen suggestions of Verdana, Courier, Times New Roman in size 10 or 12. Are there any tested answers to this question ? In everyone's aim to put together a professional looking website, there is hopefully a logical answer here ? Does anyone know why one type and size is better than the rest for webpages ?

Thank you.

The results of a study on web font readability....
 

Hi Ken,

Ralph Wilson did his own study of web font readability last year....

He found that most people found sans-serif fonts easier to read online....

You can read the detailed results of his study here....
