- kowdermeister 8y ago> System fonts won't be sufficient you think? They are great and battle tested of course, but a good font is something that makes a good design stand out. I feel it's a 'hidden' component that many people can't articulate that they like it in a design. It totally depends on the project though :) more on this: https://practicaltypography.com/system-fonts.html https://practicaltypography.com/system-fonts.html The Typewolf blog is great: https://www.typewolf.com/google-fonts https://www.typewolf.com/google-fonts https://www.typewolf.com/blog/google-fonts-combinations https://www.typewolf.com/blog/google-fonts-combinations https://practicaltypography.com/font-recommendations.html https://practicaltypography.com/font-recommendations.html
- megous 8y agosans-serif, serif and monospace are great! The actual default fonts for the platform will be selected when you use these. And these are pretty good usually and will match the user's chioce and what the user is most accustomed to seeing, which helps readability.
