GENERAL TYPE GUIDELINES
Oldstyles are great for long, uninterrupted text such as in a book or lengthy articles in magazines. The more invisible (the fewer quirks), the more sedate will be the overall impression. The smaller amounts of continuous text you have in the project, the more you can use quirkier oldstyles.

Moderns are less desirable for lengthy text because those thin strokes at body copy sizes (9 to 12) get too small to see or print clearly; theyÕre best used when you can set them a little larger than body copy or use them in small amounts for special text. Set large, moderns have a stunning classic beauty.
