The future of web type since 2016 has been sad. I still disable web fonts due to their average lower quality compared to system fonts. Private websites tend to fare much better to big media outlets here: it's rare to find good readable fonts that don't just scream "loud type"...<p>Maybe even worse than that is that the font rendering I get out of newer Firefox releases (70+) or any Chromium version on linux is not on-par with system font rendering on linux.<p>I'm extremely picky when it comes down to font rendering. I read all day and I tweaked font rendering precisely to my desire. I can spot the difference between autohinting and native hinting on some fonts just by a cursory glance on a 200dpi display. Chrome/chromium completely ignores that and gives me a horrific view of pretty much any font. Firefox hasn't been that bad until 70+, but if you try to enable webrender it becomes just as bad as chrome.<p>You know what a web browser should do first and foremost _right_? Text rendering. I don't care about Web Type, Open Type or any other font feature until the font that looks perfect on my editor is rendered like shit on a browser. Browser performance is worthless if I cannot read text clearly.
I look forward to when variable fonts work well on all systems. (I really like rsms.me/inter)<p>Meantime, rocking the system font.<p><a href="https://tachyons.io/docs/typography/font-family/system-sans-serif/" rel="nofollow">https://tachyons.io/docs/typography/font-family/system-sans-...</a><p><a href="https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/system-font-stack" rel="nofollow">https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/system-font-stack</a>
