Recently I’ve been enjoying serif fonts in more places than I used to, because I instructed Firefox not to allow sites to override my font choices (so I get exclusively Equity for serif, Concourse for sans-serif and Triplicate for monospace), which is quite pleasant and relaxing in general (Google’s foolish/poorly-implemented ligature-based icon font technique is the only notable breakage/uglification I’ve found in the couple of weeks I’ve been doing this), but apparently it’s more common than I realised for people to omit the fallback “sans-serif” or “serif” or “monospace” that they should always have on their font-family stacks, and my fallback default is serif. (e.g. I’m just now looking at a `font-family: 'Lato','Helvetica','Arial';`, and yesterday examined a `font-family: some-web-font, Open Sans;`.)

- chrismorgan 5y agoNo, but Matthew Butterick, who made them, is: https://mbtype.com/ https://mbtype.com/, https://mbtype.com/bio.html https://mbtype.com/bio.html.
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoYes, that was the in-joke. :) They're among my favorite typefaces (as is his newer Century Supra).
