Serif for the article.

Sans for the intro.

I like that. Is there a specific reason why? I want to understand the design logic.

Maybe because the horizontal lines make it easier to read?

Just checked. Serif easier to read at smaller scale.

**Serif** is the best experience (for most people) for long form reading:

Articles, Book chapters, ...

**Sans** is great for shorter, more chopped up types of reading:

Posts, Wiki entries (with all the links etc...), Descriptions, ....

Many are critiquing Serif as inheritance from the printing press and so on.

Plus, a lot of research has gone into maximizing readability.

Lexend β€” Change the way the world reads. to name just one example.

But you don't see many customers actually preferring those fonts. Readability isn't everything. Serif has a great vibe going for it and fonts like "Lora" are very much readable enough.

Left: Inter + Lora VS Right: Lexend

The one on the left reads so much better. Wow. Huge difference.

Not in the experts' tests 😹

πŸ˜… Maybe because I'm old and half-blind.

Eyepatch!; Pirate confirmed 🦜 πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

Arrr....

Which common fonts are the left ones closest to?

They **are** the common fonts lol.

Lora, Georgia, Cambria are some that I'd recommend.

Ooooh, nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn look, pretty! That looks very neat and a bit classic.

I love that for a body font.

Like that header. πŸ€”

Georgia might be a good font for our "Alexandria" website title.
