- huhtenberg 2y agoIt's more about overall look and feel, which in large part comes from the glyph proportions (the x-height), spacing and weights - https://i.imgur.com/mygqn3H.png https://i.imgur.com/mygqn3H.png Glyph proportions between Whitney and Nebula are almost identical. As are their weights. Source Sans is substantially heavier and more dense looking. While individual glyphs may be closer between Nebula and Source Sans, but the overall feel of Nebula is that of Whitney.
- jibal 2y agoFailed rebuttal of tobr's clearly true statement. Your own png refutes your position.
- concerndc1tizen 2y agoSo, it's worse than Source Sans because it removed the differentiation between a lowercase L and an uppercase i. I'd rather use Source Sans then.
- creata 2y agoTangentially, there are two versions of Source Sans worth considering afaik: * the latest OTF * the Source Sans 2.020 TTF, which is the last version (at least, the last version released in the GitHub repository[0]) that has manual hinting [0]: https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans/releases https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans/releases
