> 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 2y 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 2y agoThis letter spacing was the case for the site prior to the Kermit font post.
- chrismorgan 2y agoYeah, bad site. Scrolljacking, non-zero letter-spacing on all body text… both things you should never under any circumstances do.
