As part of the integral feedback from today's session, one of the key points was to revisit my body copy and to look at serif typefaces. From an initial experimentation, I was a little unsure about using serif type, as I felt it didn't suit the contemporary audience and the evolution of children's classics that I want to propose through the 200 Books 200 Schools promotion. Trying to balance my own personal design ambitions with the readability and visual communication of the book, I have decided to search for some more contemporary serif typefaces (screenshots shown above and below), the Lido STF which I think works quite well, in particular, and will go on to apply these to my body copy and see how well it suits the existing designs and illustrations throughout.
