Fonts can be grouped in four main categories: basic, scripted, stylized and shapes. The basic category is used most often for large amounts of text, and particularly for websites since browser cross-compatibility is a high priority in web design. This group contain familiar fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, the most web-friendly choices. Also commonly used are Georgia, Verdana and Helvetica, and any of them will display a large amount of text nicely and offer a design a classic, sophisticated look.
