I read it as “switch from a proportional font to Chicago”, but I suppose it can also be read as “switch only the proportional font to Chicago, leaving the monospaced one alone”.

What happened to Font Review Journal? For a while it was my go-to place for flowery language about minuscule details in letter shapes. Looks like it hasn’t seen an update since before the pandemic. I know at some point Bethany Heck was work

Again, I love a good button, and I’m not arguing against them. But I also recognize that using a simple icon or word as a touch target has its benefits in many contexts. There are reasons beyond numb-headed fashion that lead to their use. T
