 Wikia, by default, uses the Helvetica font in its design, supplemented by Arial or generic sans–serif fonts. While this design is reliable and is satisfactory for the bulk of users, one might wish to choose a combination that fits their taste more.

Tip: The examples presented are only guaranteed to work if you have the selected typeface(s) installed. Choosing similar–looking fonts or using the CSS2  rule can eradicate this issue almost completely.

Version 1: Nice and easy
Those behemoth featured articles and lists are best viewed in a sans–serif typeface, but this means you have absolute liberty choosing that font and style the headings. This combination uses Times New Roman for the headings, allowing for a more gentle look. Heading Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

Version 2: Expansion
One can select a different typeface for the body as well. The base setting of this variant is Cambria and Calibri. Heading Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.

Version 3: Out of the ordinary
The time when one decides to jump over all existing barriers inevitably comes. This version harnesses the power of Gill Sans MT to create an elegant, calm style. I also find it more than adequate for usage as a base font. Heading Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt, explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem, quia voluptas sit, aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos, qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt, neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt, ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Feedback is welcome as always.
