Glad they finally got rid of Lucida. The typeface sucked with Facebook's aesthetic; Helvetica Neue seems to be far more conducive to the new layout.

- msutherl 14y agoAgreed! The use of Lucida made the site feel very dated to the mid 00's, and it wasn't terribly readable either. Helvetica, especially with full-usage of the font-weights (from light to bold) makes for a much better typographical hierarchy and a more airy feel. Glad also to see that they're moving to a no-borders design and really filling up the browser window.
