tried, tested typography

I wanted to keep the title for the front cover simple by have a standard font. I have tested a few different typefaces, to see if any work better than the body font Myriad Pro, all the fonts I have preferred are sans serif fonts because they are simple, I didn't want a fancy font. I found that for the body that at first I wanted to use Gil Sans, after using in a small point size in block text, I found the 'G's weren't didn't look right. So I settled on Myriad Pro for the body text, I have used the same font thoughtout my design. I tried the body font for the title, It works well but I am considering having a frefreshing change for the title, hense my testing below.

I want to briefly talk though each type and what it has lead me to:
