Popular Types for Headlines


Verdana is used minimally for headlines. Only 10 Web sites use it for body
copy to begin with, and only four use it for headlines. The main reason is
that Verdana puts a lot of spacing between letters, which makes it not as
tidy to read at a large size.


If you are going to use Verdana for headlines, you may want to take
advantage of the CSS letter-spacing property. Georgia and Arial are the
most popular fonts for headings.
