That’s neat. And pointy letters even moreso.

My main takeaway from that article is that Nautico Crepusculo would be a good album title.

That title doesn’t seem true. I zoomed in on the text above and took a screenshot, then zoomed in even more on that screenshot and edited in some marker lines:

Maybe some fonts do that, but not the default one used on Lemmy. Nor, I suspect, most common web sans serif fonts.

This is known as optical alignment. It’s very common in font design.

Typography, and design as a whole are such enjoyable things to experience. Even sometimes, when being sold to. But on the whole, I have found I would rather a frightful design and more freedom (and less data snatching), than being up-sold some “fancy” looking thing that’s some Bauhaus trash.

That was some sloppy I should be asleep trash. This is an interesting article though, I especially like the part where they show how weight can affect the design of individual characters.
