moldresistant Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The current "Poppins" typeface is not very easy to read, especially as a wall of text. It is thin and some of the letters look pretty similar. For example, lowercase "a" is single-storey (rounded), which makes it looks very close to "o", and not far off from "d", "c" or even "q". Put them together and you can see how it can be dizzying: Poppins daodaoaaodco To further the point, this typeface made for people with dyslexia uses double-storey a: https://www.dyslexiefont.com/ Instead of Poppins, I would recommend using a "boring" websafe typeface (one that is installed on a majority of systems), preferably sans serif such as Helvetica/Arial or Verdana: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp Doing this will also save a bit of page loading time. Just putting the idea out there ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) I hadn't noticed it but now that you mentioned it, I see your point. A quick check of other forums I read and various news sites shows me that none uses this Poppins style a. I second your motion to abandon Poppins.

Puccini Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 If and when the font type on this forum gets changed to a type other than Poppins, the Poppins a will no longer show in the OP and therefore I made this image with an excerpt from the text of the OP: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
