What Fonts Do You Use?

A few years ago, I was asked on the forum:

“Just wondering --- what fonts does everyone typically use when designing websites? I usually stick to fonts or font families of Verdana, Arial, Times, and rarely Georgia.” by PACIFICWEBFX​

I tend to use Arial, Geneva, and Helvetica for sans-serif fonts and Times, Garamond, and Palatino for serif fonts. Those are my preferences. But I am starting to find really interesting fonts on Font Squirrel that are a lot of fun to use, because they aren’t the standard Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif font stack, such as Calluna Regular—a free font I found today on Font Squirrel from FontSpring.

Funny perhaps you wouldn't think of fonts as being that important but they do factor in to the feeling you want your site to reflect. For a business site perhaps times new roman is ok bit for an artist site you may want something a bit different. An Artist site we recently did reinacottier.com she was very specific about wanting Century Gothic.
So I would say on a subliminal level the fonts you use are going to have an effect on the visitor. Something to keep in mind while setting up a site.
