While I generally don't comment on the appearance of sites, the font The New Yorker uses makes the text very hard to read, at least on my screen. Simply using Times New Roman or something similar would already be an improvement.
- ysavir 10y agoIrrelevant, but at least you read the article.
- panglott 10y agoSeems like nearly every HN thread has a discussion of the linked article's web design. Maybe not relevant to the author, but relevant to the audience.
- ysavir 10y agoI kind of wish your response mimicked the article. "Are comments really so irrelevant?". "Rather, relevance is a subjective condition, a feeling or an intuition that comments are in some profound sense the same as the content that came before them. "
- Eric_WVGG 10y agoNot sure what you mean. The typeface is much larger than the type right here, and serif typefaces are more readable than sans-serifs.
- zingermc 10y agoMaybe serif fonts are more readable on a high-resolution phone screen or "retina" display, but not on my monitor. The edges of the serif font on the New Yorker's site just look blurry to me.
