Why the fuck do you not want serifs on an I? It can save you in some scenarios. Take, for example:
http://google.com
http://googIe.com
Unless you're an autist and notice the tiny amount of spacing around the capital I not present with the lowercase L, you'll blindly click on it assuming it's safe.

Where can you pirate a copy of New Rodin? From what I see searching, you can't even buy it. IT's owned by a Japanese Typeface company with just documentation on it, no sale.

I always have issues finding sources for font torrents, I always get results that are either sites to buy or torrents for entirely unrelated fonts.

I've become a pretty consistent user of DIN for statistical graphics and sans serif text, Roboto Slab for titling. I really like the pairing in my research writing, so much so I've changed my matplotlibrc and my system fonts so that they match.

Ubuntu is the best for everything. Ubuntu Mono is so perfect it makes me cry manly tears.

i like source code pro and source serif pro, but latex is all fucked up with source serif pro when i try to use italics and stuff.

computer modern is kinda nice for strongly signaling to people that i used latex, but i really like signaling that in the nice typesetting, the microtype, kerning, etc... more than slapping them in the face with it.
