I have a hard time taking a supposedly user-focused design resource seriously when they set paragraph text in a bold sans serif font. Not reader-friendly. Anybody who's been to design school would learn not to do that in Type 1. It might be a valuable resource, but that's not the right way to get off on the right foot, especially with a design-savvy user-base.
- kohtatsu 7y agoI was wondering why reading it was such a pain..
- chefandy 7y agoIt really is eye-wateringly bad. Open up the inspector in your browser and remove the reference to roboto for the paragraph text, and see how much more readable it is. The problem is they only import two Roboto fonts, one is a semi-bold and the other is a bold. Firstly, there's almost no situations where a semi-bold should be paired with a bold because there isn't enough contrast between them to show any meaningful difference in the content, but they still look different enough to kill any sense of harmony you might have by simply using a larger-point font. Secondly, paragraph text should only be set in regular/roman/book/normal/etc width. That width is "regular" for a reason— it's the most readable.
