Baskerville
This font look like a transition typeface that falls somewhere between classical and modern typefaces. It has more contrast between the thick and thin strokes of the letterforms, as well as sharper serifs and a more vertical axis to rounded letters. The characters are also more regular, and the rounded strokes are more circular.


Bickham Script Pro
This is excellent font for formal, elegant designs, especially those reminiscent of its origin in the 18th century. It also includes a number of OpenType features, including discretionary ligatures, swashes, superscripts, stylistic alternates, and cast-sensitive glyph connectors. The contextual changes that occur to the characters as one types make it an especially versatile typeface, and improves the designs effortlessly.


Bodoni
It is a modern serif typeface, with high contrast between thin and thick stroke weights, and a slightly condensed shape. It is well-suited for use in modern designs where a serif typeface is desired. It’s a great serif for use in headlines and subheads.

Dislike


Goudi Stout

This font is lack of small letters, distorted serifs, extremely hard to read “S” and “G”; letter “Q” looks like the number 2. These characteristic make Goudi Stout inappropriate for use on standard identity materials.


Viner Hand

When in comes to scripts or handwritten fonts, the messier the better you’d think. Although Viner is not one of the most complicated and is hard to read scripts, there are a few thing about it that make it quite unsuitable for use: pretty sharp letters, too long tail of the small “d”, strange “q”, doesn't look natural and handmade.


Curlz

Curlz is also one of the fonts, resented by designers. Absolutely generic, too thin and hard to read if kerning not applied properly ; too whimsical.  Relatively suitable for kids’ clothes brands, cupcake bakeries or baby shower invitations. Unsuitable for everything else.
