SHELLEY JACKSON'S INERADICABLE STAIN


What is a classic book font, you ask?


A classic book font is what you will find if you open a typical novel. Some examples are Caslon, Garamond, Bodoni, and Times Roman. A simple sans serif font like Futura or Gill Sans, while less typical in books, is also permissible, as is Courier. Your tattoo should look like something intended to be read, not admired for its decorative qualities. My own tattoo, the title of the story, is in Baskerville, which you can see in the example below.
