Re:Adobe + Typekit to bring legendary typefaces to the web by tptacek on Monday August 16, 2010 @05:10PM (#1609285)
So don't set running type in "exotic" faces; use Minion for display type and subheds, and use a compatible standard face for the body.

The main reason to use Minion is that it’s an awesome text face which ends up taking up a bit less space than other faces at a similar size without sacrificing readability (I used it for almost all my papers the last couple years of college, for example). As a display face, it’s not terribly exciting (especially since it doesn’t seem that the fonts designed for display size are included here; so these Minion fonts are intended for 10–12 pt. on paper).
