8. I am working on a book review in Nyala right now
Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 03:36 AM by ashling
just took a break to see what was happening over here.

Nayala is a wonderful font. The strength and dignity of a Roman without the pomposity of chiseled serifs. Its serifs are wonderfully natural and flowing, with a sense of the classical.

I had gotten into using sans serif fonts pretty much all of the time because (I know this sounds odd) sometimes the serif fontss are too much of a strain on these old eyes. And yet arial, trebuchet, and verdana can sometimes get too boring. Then I discovered Nyala with its playfulness. Perfect for male or female.
