    Libertinus Serif is my current favorite. I generally like most garamond-likes for most books, but will dabble in a sans if the book is suitably scifi. Older favorites of mine are Adobe Caslon Pro and Adobe Devanagari. Baumschrift is a fantastic clean sans font but honestly it shines best on larger sizes for headers rather than prose. If we are doing monospace I love IBM Plex Mono in the light variety.

    Gentium Book, Alegreya, or Labrada. Humanist serif fonts for reading Fantasy and SciFi. Absolutely love them, can’t recommend these enough.

    I just tried a few fonts on my old Kobo, as I’ve done a few times here and there, and I always end up back with a serif font. I’m not sure why, but I have suspicion that reading paperbacks and newspapers before ereaders existed has trained me to read faster with serif fonts.

    Since the first time of seeing it on a Mac (Plus, probably), I’ve been in love with Palatino. It just seems to flow so nicely, and the italic is gorgeous.

    I missed it for many years until I found TeX Gyre Pagella.

    nztt.

    Made it myself.

    Works for my dyslexia, and efficient for vertical space.

    It divides opinion, some very enthusiastic, some hate it.
