Hi everyone. I am having a hard time selecting a font for the chapter text that compliments the body text. Do you have any recommendations for the chapter fony? You can see a snipit of a chapter in the pic I attached. The current chapter font, SourceSansPro, is the same font used for the exterior book title, but it does not fit with the interior text.

What typeface are you using for the body copy? Is there a different weight of that typeface you could use for the headings? Are you open to finding a different font for the main copy and keeping SourceSansPro or is it important to keep your choice for the main copy and find something to pair with it for the headings?

Thank you Vangogh. I was thinking similarly in terms of the body and chapter font having consistency, i.e. serif body font should have a serif chapter font. I am also thinking of using the same font that is used on the website so there is consistency there.

I'm not sure this will really help, but oddly enough there was an article in my feed reader today about Source Sans Pro (http://blog.typekit.com/2014/07/09/source-sans-v2/). Even if it's not helpful, you might still find it interesting.

What font are you using for the body now?
