It’s a bit difficult to read text at small font sizes, which
is an advantage if -- for strictly legal reasons -- you don’t want someone to see the small print in
your document.

</html>One particularly interesting font design is called Optima, which attempts to
combine the qualities of serif and sans serif. It is classically proportioned but
avoids serifs. It’s actually quite a beautiful font.Optima permits itself some slight serifs (see the lowercase a) and also a little
variation in line widths. So, if you want to combine sans and serif, consider a
font like Optima.Figure 5-4:
Optima (or
as Microsoft
calls it,
Optimum) is
a hybrid font
combining
qualities of
both sans
and serif
fonts.
