In my opinion, recently launched Vllg.com got some of the best new fonts. I especially love Galaxie Copernicus and Sharp Sans Display set.
BTW this is the font I had seen and liked - the one in the body text at this site:
Squarish in shape, and for some reason, to me, it makes the text appear good. Like I said, don't know typography, so don't know if there is any specific reason why it looks good to me, or is it all purely subjective.
Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement speech comes to mind, BTW. He talks about typography in it.
