Josbuivenga is a typography designer from the Netherlands. His website exlibris Font Foundry is where I find some of the most well design typefaces. Amazingly his work is completely free and I had the chance to use his fonts FONTIN & FONTIN SANS for the book I have developed in Australia with the writer Tom Bird.
This typeface is beautiful designed and is very easy to read and work with. I used the serif one in the titles of the book and the sans serif in the body.
Besides these two, Jos has others that are different, but also well developed. Diavlo is another typeface I fancy a lot, but I wouldn’t use it for a book because of its drawing and curves. On the internet it is possible to find all kinds of typefaces and this is because each typeface is designated for a certain type of work and medium. Serif typographies are not good to use on the internet, but on the other hand are easier to read on a printed support. Any designer must be careful with this and understand how to all different sorts of fonts.
