Fonts - type face or in other words text that looks aesthetically pleasing.

I have a tendency to look past the fonts I use. I am pretty lame when it comes to selecting the proper typeface to make content look good. Something I need to work on. There are others, who are very keen about font selection. These people have a gift, but they are also cursed to complain and whine about everyone else's use of fonts. :)
