Use these five fonts the next time you want to branch out from the usuals. All of them are free, versatile, and particularly readable at a range of sizes.
Wanted to say thank you, I was struggling on what text to pick for my one page rpg jam submission last week and then this post turned up in my inbox. Used crimson text in the end so this was very timely!
I went through a parchment background phase, so I am not quick to judge others. :) That said, I avoid them these days. My goal is to do high contrast black on white or (if I must) white on black text.
One of the Comics Commandments is “They won’t read your comic if they can’t read your comic” and having a good readable font esspecially on a onepagerpg entry is superimportant

Wonderful! Thank you!
I just used Source Serif Caption (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif) for a CD liner note and I would happily recommend that for when the text has to be small.
Parchment backgrounds and similar busyness are an abomination. Is it some weird kind of showing off? Never mind the quality, feel the width? Ugh! ;)
