And without the ugly serifed fonts — the most important part to me TBH
In any case, I think we should start the #NoCSS movement and abolish CSS 🤪
and I DO like my serif font THANK YOU work sans is AMAZING
@theorytoe
CSS is great to slap over an already existing design and shape it more to your liking. It was originally a tool for that: interchangeable styles. You weren't supposed to do the whole site layout in it. What we have today is due to people using it wrong.

But that's a sans serif font! Serifs are those decorative… spike thingies on letters — fonts that have them are serif fonts: ugly, bleh 🤮, don't like them. Those that don't have them are SANS serif — really neat, my love ❤️

There used to be an explanation for this based on the fact that computer screens have lower resolution and that made serif fonts look ugly — I kid you not, that was the dominant theory about two decades ago. But I think that's bullshit of course — serifs appeared long before quality printing was even achievable, you kinda have to use them when you're using a chisel to carve letters in stone 🤷

Besides, computer screen resolutions have increased drastically, but sans serif fonts still dominate the UIs, modern printed manuals also use them and look really cool — doesn't give you the impression of being printed in the eighties.
