More to the point, it's practically impossible to judge a font's mood from the list of glyphs instead of a sample text. A related gripe is that Google Fonts only allows to see a short line of a custom text—I usually go to other sites just because of this misfeature.

I love Alegreya. I use it for some of Silver Gryphon Games' books.
