There are too many fonts, so much so that I usually choose the Braille Institute’s Atkinson Hyperlegible for everything from my browser’s sans-serif
default, to Obsidian notes, to my personal blog.
I few weeks ago, I started writing LaTeX papers and Atkinson Hyperlegible looked awful! So, I scoured the deepest cavities of Reddit (using Perplexity of course; fuck u/spez
), and finally found XCharter, a beautiful, minimal serif font.
“What other fonts am I missing out on?”
Yes, people do get FOMO from unused fonts. I thought I’d leave a note for myself and anyone else with decision paralysis who always chooses fonts like Poppins
, Inter
, or Rubik
for design work or Arial
and Calibri
for documents.
