I have a lot of time for Bringhurst, and TEOTS should be mandatory
reading for anyone intending to present text for public viewing.
But here I disagree with him. That's not to say there aren't better
sans-serif alternatives available, and Helvetica is certainly a bit
cramped for prose. But on the whole, it's a perfectly servicable
typeface.
