Which font to use and why?
For a text centric website (like a blog), which font would you use and why?
- dizzystar 10y agoI use whatever the default font is on my personal blog [0]. I use Foundation CSS, and I'm not entirely sure what font that is, or if it is even altered from the default browser font. Why? -- I don't think that any font will enhance the content and concepts I write about. -- I don't think anyone will pay attention unless it is bad. As I'm not a designer and I don't have the sophistication to know what the best choice is. I'm led to believe that some fonts are better than others, but I really don't know why and I don't feel like researching this. -- I doubt anyone really cares that much, so why slow my site down or have a flash of unrendered text, which will both be negatively noticed, for no reason? -- I consider myself a minimalist, and I prefer to present online presence in that way.
