I agree wholeheartedly, it’s readable, but oh so ugly and brutalistic :P

Why is that :D ?

Not that I disagree with you, as it’s also my favorite, but just wanting to hear your reasons :)

Haha big brain time :P

You’re not wrong about compactness, that’s a really good point!

Thank you ! I’m a bit overwhelmed by the positive resonance so far, so now I’m wondering what to write after that will give me the same high haha :)

OK, debate solved, serifs -> stroke terminals

Why? I’m not getting the joke :D

Now that you say that, I liked Aptos’ G, but now I dislike it because it’ll likely make things harder for people with poor eyesight.

I liked arial

OK, you’re the only person who has managed to make me angry hehe :)

Someone actually likes Arial ??!!

Thank you so much, this sort of feedback warms my heart, it really does !

Feel free to stick around via the Mailinglist or the Fediverse (Y), links are in #whoami !

NO!! >:( https://jdsalaro.com/note/comparison-new-microsoft-default-font-calibri-aptos/#final-remarks

What are the “display” variants of the new fonts in that article? They’re called that, at least on Office 365: Aptos Display, Grandview Display, etc.

Genial ! Ya mismo ⚡!

but Aptos does look like an improvement

I think so too! Did you click through the Lorem Ipsum examples? Aptos is much easier on the eyes even in dense paragraphs.

I particularly like the serif added to the lowercase L

For the record, my calling those serifs has been a point of contention. To me Aptos feels like a semi-serif, not a sans-serif, although it’s officially one! However, it’s been suggested to me that I should do away with the serif terminology and call them simply stroke terminals!

Still mulling over this.

Spoiler alert: you’re the second person to suggest Iosevka, so I just added it to the comparison 🤠👍🏼

I must say I don’t love it’s narrowness, but it’s really well made !

May I ask why? I’m not loving ligatures :[

I gave Julia’s and Fira’s ligatures a try but no dice, it feels so super counterintuitive 😬

Thanks a bunch! Yeah, that sounds about right, but also Julia and since some folks on Mastodon [1] told me also 0xProto 😂! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
