Ask HN: What is your favorite blogging typeface?

2 pointsby LorenzoGood2년 전9 comments

Hi,

I am looking for a typeface to use for my new blog, and I am wondering what your favorite typefaces are. (Both for prose, and for code display).

Do you want a serif or sans serif for the body text?

For a serif, I think Crimson Pro is very nice.

You can see it, and many others, on this site: https://beautifulwebtype.com/crimson-pro/

For sans serif, I like Helvetica, but the original Helvetica might not be easily available outside of Apple’s operating systems.

Thanks! I do prefer sans-serif, since it feels more techy for some reason.

I use jura ( https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Jura ) since it's futuristic and very readable.

I've been experimenting with Libre Baskerville, but my go to in the past has always been Meriwether.

Consolas for code. It's the font that Sublime Text uses.
