Offtopic:
The cursive italics are apparently a feature of the Victor Mono [1] font used for the full page. While it'd be amusing in Tumblr context (where cursive is used for hyperbolic emphasis), I can't fathom why one would consider it in a code context, but to each their own...
You can change it (at least on Safari) by going into developer tools, clicking any node, and removing "Victor Mono" from --font-family

- 8organicbits 3y agoOne of the first things I do on a new browser install is to disable web fonts. I've never seen a site where they improve things, often they flicker in after page load, which is jarring.
- andrewl-hn 3y agoVictor is also an extremely narrow font. The author of the font motivates it as means to squeeze more code per line. Not only it would make longer lines more tolerable, but also for short lines it reduces the eye movement needed to scan the line. However, I personally find the narrowness more tiring for the eyes to the point that it is even more distracting than the cursive.
