< Notes...

The Manrope font is not too shabby. I mean, I like it! My love for fonts, specifically monospaced, and sans serif, is an obsession: 98% of the time I inspect a webpage element it is to check what kind of font is been used.

Hmm, Source Sans 3 is some sexy, open source , font! Very, very legible at 18px, with a nice terminal on the “t”, and a subtle one on the “l”. Lovely!

In case you didn’t notice it, I am back to Open Sans—ah, now you noticed, I bet! I used Ubuntu Sans for a whole almost five months. Love Ubuntu Sans, but Open Sans is more… hmm, uniform? Either way, a change of mind. 😛

More often than not I am so torn between serif, and sans-serif. Not even funny.

You will notice that this note’s font is different. Not only is a little bit bigger, it is Ubuntu Sans (not Open Sans , like that rest). Which is more legible? Well, let’s see.

“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” Hmm, I need more. I, in capitals, and i. L, in capitals, and l. 1, and l. O and 0. I am growing to like it.

Well, I liked it so much that I have changed to it, for now. I think that getting tired of fonts, colour themes, cars, etc., is just part of being human. I really like Open Sans, I just feel like using Ubuntu Sans for a while. I think seeing it each day while working (running Ubuntu Linux on work machine, and that’s the default font) has something to do with it.

Don’t get me wrong, the Atkinson Hyperlegible font is a great font. Like, truly, truly good. I know, I know, there comes the “but”. But I have seeing it on Hacker News many times. Like 9 tailed foxes times.

After finding a font I liked online today, and checking which one was it, and downloading it, and saving it to my “fonts” directory all neatly organised with the rest of them—which is something I often do—I had an existential thought. “Why am I doing this?” Will anyone “inheriting” my collection care about them like I did?

I often find myself second guessing what I do, or a direction/decision I am heading/taking by simply going over and over my thoughts on the meaning of life. Latent depression?

I am liking the redesign of Google Fonts , which was announced on the Material Design Blog . I will still use the google-fonts-helper to get the fonts I choose to use, and host them locally.

I have used Inter in the past on another personal website. On this one I am using Karla , but I am having some thoughts on changing to Inter. Should I, or is it the fleeting thought of an idle mind? Hmm, better get back to D4. 😂
