The body text in this article is illegibly thin, please consider moving to weight 600 so that people can read your text. You've worked hard to write it, now it is time for people to read it. :-)
- pmontra 11y agoI didn't notice, but my NoScript blocked the web font and the default font is more legible with that color. In both cases changing the color from rgb(100, 100, 121) to rgb(80, 80, 100) is enough to improve the readability of the text. font-weight: 600 seems a little extreme.
- jorams 11y agoFor some perhaps the color of the text is the only complaint, but for me the font is also illegibly thin [1]. I got around it by disabling the web font, because just setting the font weight to 600 didn't fix the odd shapes [2]. The bold version of the font is also available as a separate font family (AvenirNextLTW01-Bold). It looks much more like a "normal" font weight and is incredibly readable [3].

- pmontra 11y agoI noticed that thin fonts are not so thin on high DPI screens. Example: that font is more readable on my 9" 2500x1600 (approx) tablet than on my 1080p 15" laptop. Maybe they are designing for retina Macs.
