  • I agree wholeheartedly, it's readable, but oh so ugly and brutalistic :P

  • Why is that :D ?

    Not that I disagree with you, as it's also my favorite, but just wanting to hear your reasons :)

  • You're not wrong about compactness, that's a really good point!

  • Thank you ! I'm a bit overwhelmed by the positive resonance so far, so now I'm wondering what to write after that will give me the same high haha :)

  • OK, debate solved, serifs -> stroke terminals

  • Why? I'm not getting the joke :D

  • Now that you say that, I liked Aptos' G, but now I dislike it because it'll likely make things harder for people with poor eyesight.

  • I liked arial

    OK, you're the only person who has managed to make me angry hehe :)

    Someone actually likes Arial ??!!

  • Thank you so much, this sort of feedback warms my heart, it really does !

    Feel free to stick around via the Mailinglist or the Fediverse (Y), links are in #whoami !

  • What are the “display” variants of the new fonts in that article? They're called that, at least on Office 365: Aptos Display, Grandview Display, etc.

  • but Aptos does look like an improvement

    I think so too! Did you click through the Lorem Ipsum examples? Aptos is much easier on the eyes even in dense paragraphs.

    I particularly like the serif added to the lowercase L

    For the record, my calling those serifs has been a point of contention. To me Aptos feels like a semi-serif, not a sans-serif, although it's officially one! However, it's been suggested to me that I should do away with the serif terminology and call them simply stroke terminals!

    Still mulling over this.
