Please consider using a thicker font. This one is not very readable on my device (Windows 10 + Chrome + 17" 100PPI display). I can read it, but it's not a pleasant experience. [edited]
- lnanek2 10y agoThat font is really thin and weird looking here on OSX too. I can read it, just not sure I want to.
- _mbr 10y agoIs it also unreadable at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lato https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lato ? (Try "Thin" at 18 px size)?
- usea 10y agoI'm not parent, but experiencing the same problem. Yes, it's also very thin at the google font site, on 18 px Thin. Here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/bUe7gNs.png http://i.imgur.com/bUe7gNs.png The arrow points to the "Thin" line. Windows 10, Firefox 49.0.1 FWIW, I think it's a pretty common problem with many web fonts on certain platforms (windows?). I see it all the time. Also, thanks for the post!
- freehunter 10y agoMacOS Sierra on Safari, looks fine to me. Does not match the screenshot provided in this thread.
- _mbr 10y agoFWIW, I've changed the font-weight to regular. It's the same size on my non-Retina displays, but increased to regular thickness on the high resolution ones. Hopefully, it's readable for by everyone now.
- _mbr 10y agoIt's Lato Light (Lato @ font-weight: 300) at full #000, it's not a particularly obscure choice I think. I've checked the rendering on anything-but-retina monitors (27" at 1920x1080) but it looked fine to me. Unfortunately, font rendering is still a bit of a crapshoot, it differs from OS to OS and even varies wildly between Linux distros (which may or may not use potentially non-free freetype functionality). In the end, I hope it's manageable. We're open to redesign offers though =).
