Avoiding typeface errors

I would like to conduct a simple test. Pick a typeface that is appealing to me for some reason that I cannot articulate, examine its usability (legibility and readability) and its personality (if the typeface is a person, what would he or she be like?) to find out the reason why I was attracted to it in the first place. The typeface used by default here is Trebuchet.




I will also apply the same test to two other typefaces to which I have negative biases.




 
 
Let's begin the test. I will paste a block of text in each typeface and see their readability, legibility, and personality.
