Hat Tip: The Morning Newsfeed: 05.29.07
A number of prominent writers reveal what font they compose in and why. Courier was the clear favorite among our unscientific sample, but Times New Roman, Palatino, and something called Hoefler Text had their champions as well. It seems to come down to whether a writer's formative experience came on an Olivetti or an Apple.

I found this fascinating… Especially the previous post… 20070525 The Helvetica Hegemony and Click here to read a slide-show essay about Helvetica and the art of the font.
I’m just a regular kinda writer who just likes to write… My favorite font is Bookman Old Style. After that I like Georgia, Baskerville Old Face or Century Schoolbook.
Although I am not aware as to why I like Bookman Old Style…
What is your favorite font?
