The serifs on a serif font (the flat lines found at the top and bottom of characters in a font such as Times New Roman) actually keep your eyes aligned to the line you are reading and actually make you read faster.

However sans-serif fonts (fonts without the serifs) look much nicer in smaller environment where not so much reading needs to be done (such as in a table, dates, times and so on).

Also, pick any of your favourite novel or reference book. It should have roughly 60 to 70 characters per line. This is because studies show that any less or any more slows down your reading.
