Hi /lit/!

What is the absolutely best font one can use for reading walls of text? Bonus points if it's sans-serif and aesthetic but readability is the top priority.

My pick would be Segoe but I'm really looking for something even better if it exists.

Let me give you my font history:
First I used »Segue UI« for at least 3 years, the I switched to »Verdana« and kept that for 2 years. Less than a week ago I dropped »Verdana« for the in my opinion currently best font »Liberation Mono«. Monotype fonts are generally easy to read.

One of the tests is employ is the »rn-m« (left is r and n, right is m) difference. The font, which lets you distinguish between these two will have good readability in general. Use the word "learnmusic" in your tests.
While you can look at fonts seperately, there are other important elements which provide good readability for running text:
(1) line distance: 1.5 is perfect
(2) text width: I find ~10 cm to be perfect.

What happened to good old 12pt TNR? Don't be a hipster faggot, OP.

I'm a fan of Alef personally, but why on earth would you want a sans-serif font at all?
