Not an impressive way to start. I do not like the fonts on MacOS at all. IMO Mac fonts are the worst of all the major OSes. Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS are all better than the atrocity that is Mac fonts. Of course, that is because I use those other OSes more than MacOS, so they're the basis for me to decide what is "correct".
- duhi88 6y agoObviously this just comes down to personal preference. All the major companies have poured lots of money into engineering typefaces specifically for their UI and brand. They're all designed to be easy to read and give off just enough personality to not be distracting. Objectively, I'd be surprised if one were better than another. I like some of the open source sans serif fonts just as much as Apple's SF fonts. Google's Roboto has a bit too much personality IMO, but it might be better tuned for Android than the web.
