Hey Folks!

We’ve been playing and discussing Calibri, Aptos ( Bierstadt ), Grandview, Seaford, Tenorite and Skeena over on Tildes and I figured you folks would enjoy clicking around and seeing what the differences between them actually are.

I wrote the article, so let me know if there’s something you’d like to see as well :D

Cheers !

    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.
