Why does every website want to load fonts at all anyway? Just use the built in ones.

  Mostly for branding nonsense I have tried some of the accessibility oriented easy to read fonts that are supposed to help with dyslexia but it's hard to justify that megabyte when I am also balancing accessibility of slow computers on bad networks

  In my case, to know that everyone is seeing the same website, optimised for legibility, and with every UI label fitting in its alloted space.

    Bah, stop trying to control what the user sees. Let them optimize legibility by choosing their own fonts and sizes. The best legibility tool is reader mode anyway, which completely ignores your fonts and layouts.

      I'm designing for the average user, not the average Hacker News commenter. This is why the website is beloved by its users.
