Best Fonts for Books: 18 Fonts Tested on a Real Novel (Pages, Cost and Licence)

Short answer: for a novel, choose a classic book serif: EB Garamond, Crimson Pro, Alegreya or a Palatino-style font are the safe choices. Georgia, or its free twin Gelasio, suits readers who like a larger look. For non-fiction, Source Serif, Literata or Lora.
