I like the clean look of sans and am considering bagging the serifs and going for the simple, stripped-down look. <\/p>\n<p>That particular sans-serif font also seems to be naturally a little larger than the current typeface. WordPress grants bloggers surprisingly little control over font sizes, but this particular WP theme does offer an almost endless selection of fonts to try.
