The typography in this post is beautiful (as well as the content), anybody know where this comes from? Did the author do it by hand or is it something off the shelf? Asking for a friend...

Probably derived from tufte.css https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/ https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/.

Here's the typeface https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ What struck me was the [ t a b ] stuff as well as the Latex reference, which looks to be embedded img in src, so there must be some sort of preprocessor?

The styling is done from scratch. For more information, see the colophon [1] and karasu [2]. [1]: https://krasjet.com/colophon/ https://krasjet.com/colophon/ [2]: https://github.com/Krasjet/karasu https://github.com/Krasjet/karasu

I have a tangential question related to styling (and I agree the styling for this site is wonderful). When designing your personal/corporate website/blog, how much weight do you attribute to users whose browsers refuse to load remote fonts (by preference or otherwise)? I ask because I've noticed recently that some websites (notably, many google sites) are unusable, because they depend on remotely-loaded icons, which are replaced with unreadably-stretched alt-text with unintended form factors. On this blog, for example, the default preformatted-font didn't seem to be monospaced, and the result is that the "julia" name is rendered incorrectly. All this is meant to ask, do you ever test your designs with browser-default fonts? If not/so, is this conscious? Why? To be clear, I intend for this to be a survey, not an inquisition. I'm trying to understand this trend better. For my own answer. At my place of work, in spite of an avowed obsession with accessibility, our designs are regularly sabotaged by browser-default fonts and poorly-rendered alt-text.

  It's just a small mistake in the CSS file :) Since Julia requires a ton of Unicode characters, I'm using a different monospace type from usual, so I forgot to put the fall back `monospace` at the end of `font-family`, but it's fixed now.
