When it's more than a couple of lines of text, I agree. But when it's just there to be aesthetically pleasing and not so much to be read, I don't think it's really that big of a problem.

It's all personal preference in the end anyway, I think.

It's perfectly fine in what you were doing. But some people set a

really not that appealing or readable.

not too sure about the rockwell, perhaps ITC?

How right you are.

On a side note... look at how much copy they're setting, and you'll see why it actually works for those pieces.

I think that if you must turn your neck to read that, especially to the degree that it hurts, you're doing something wrong. And word design isn't your only problem.
