Maybe it's easy for kids to read, but I found the font too bold and the letters too close-together to read comfortably. I gave up before I could read all their justifications for those decisions.
But that might've also been the weird scrolling behavior of the page that ruined it for me.
- SirMaster 1y agoYeah, I found this a lot harder to read and more strain on my eyes than something simple like the font used in the comments here. It definitely seems too thick to me.
- abanana 1y ago> letters too close-together The CSS has { letter-spacing: -.04rem; } It's across the entire site - no exclusion for this page (or for their .kermit-font class). So it appears they've missed the fact that they're altering the look-and-feel of the very font they're presenting in this post.
- Pxtl 1y agoI assume that's to work around the high width of the font. Information density seems too low for paragraphs of text with that width. I could see this current version (without the spacing hack) being the "easy-reader" version, and then make a "YA reader" variant that's lower weight and horizontallu narrower.
- zamadatix 1y agoThis letter spacing was the case for the site prior to the Kermit font post.
- chrismorgan 1y agoYeah, bad site. Scrolljacking, non-zero letter-spacing on all body text… both things you should never under any circumstances do.
