Choose fonts for readability. Go with something mainstream.

Comic Sans, as a giant F-you to all designers everywhere.

Not Comic Sans. No, please, no.

Stick to something standard for the body text. For a cover design, why not look at a variety of fonts and choose one that you think reflects the character of the story?

I am fond of Nyala for the body, but I think a Comic Sans title might actually be fitting in this case.

comic sans seems overly used.. :(
but thanks for the response.. I think I’m going to added comic sans to my choice :D

@jerv God bless you, sir. I love a designer that doesn’t extend the hatred of Comic Sans to appropriate uses.

Apparently, fonts such as Arial (non cursive) are much easier for people with disabilities to read.

Arial (which is just a bad copy of Helvetica) is easy to read, but only for short texts and headlines. For a longer text, a serif typeface (such as Adobe Caslon) is the only sensible choice.

I’m personally very fond of the Rotis font family, which includes serif and sans-serif typefaces. A combination of Rotis Sans or semi-sans for the headlines and Rotis serif or semi-serif for the body make for a very harmonic typography.
