The longer I've being doing web development and design the more I've come to appreciate the simplicity of imprecision. One line of CSS I've come to love is this:
font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
It's not pixel perfect, and it's not always pretty. But it is consistent, loads instantaneously, and always feels familiar to the user.
Of course, it's quite a different way of thinking about design versus a more classical approach, and I think it's often overlooked by designers for that reason.
