The "bread font"... is that a design term? I like it, and it intuitively makes sense. I'm just wondering if that's a common term or if bread is interchangeable

- stdbrouw 14y agoI've definitely heard it before, though "body font" seems to be much more prevalent. It's probably a literal translation from a continental Germanic language, e.g. Dutch has "broodtekst" though the word refers to the actual body copy, not the font. German has "Bröttext".

- arrrg 14y agoHaha, no, body text is them common English expression. I just translated “Brotschrift” literally to English and somehow convinced myself that it’s an actual English expression.
- thoughtcriminal 14y agoLets start using it. I'm going to start calling it the "bread font" anyway. Maybe it'll catch on ;)
