A few years ago Stephen Coles wrote a great article on book cover fonts for FontFeed.com. I think it’s still relevant today, and many of my favourites made the list. I recommend you read the whole article, which includes images.
Cole’s top 10 list of book cover fonts:
- Minion
- ITC New Bakserville
- FF Scala & FF Scala Sans
- Adobe Garamond (one of my all-time favorite fonts)
- Trade Gothic
- Electra
- Fornier
- Dante
- Din
