You may happen to like how system-ui looks on your system (macOS? Windows?); but do you have any idea what it looks like for the person reading your resume, perhaps on Linux with a custom theme, or on an Android device where the vendor chose to ship some brand-specific UI font? Or on a 5-yr old version of the OS, or on the version that'll be current 5 years in the future?
IMO system-ui is hardly ever a wise choice for content.
- djur 4y agoIf it is legible I don't care. If I can select a style a little bit more specific than "serif" or "sans-serif", that's great, as long as it degrades to something legible. I've yet to see a situation where free-flowing text or headings became illegible because the font changed. UI elements, sure.

- zinekeller 4y ago> Android device where the vendor chose to ship some brand-specific UI font Chrome (and Android Webkit) hardcodes Roboto as the system-ui font (in such a way that both Samsung and Xiaomi devices (which both have font options) cannot touch), and Firefox brings its own font rendering which also hardcodes Roboto. If the system-ui font of Linux is set to a silly one (according to your opinion), then the user-in-question would realise that they are the one who picked that font that you called silly, in other words they don't care about your opinion at all.
