However, for what ever reason the BBC’s Helvetica renders a lot smaller than STW’s Montserrat and it seems more legible (and a touch more mature) to boot.
I don’t know if the site is rendering the font wrong, or if Monsterrat is a badly built font.
See my screenshots above - to me at least Helvetica is more readable than Montserrat even without changing any of the other attributes.
edit: though thanks for the Medium font info - Georgia and Cambria both work as standard fonts and I'm currently viewing the forum in Georgia, which may be preferable to Helvetica (when I have time to play tonight I'll implement random font selection from a set of possibles to see which one feels best 🙂 )
On my pad it looks great now, perfectly readable in portrait full-screen, which it natively opens at.
The font looks good too, I’ve always liked Helvetica, although for book text serif fonts are better, I doubt if anyone is going to write a fifty-page diatribe!
Although you never know...
Now all we need are the buttons back to avoid having to repeatedly tapping in square brackets, back-slashes and bits of text just to post a quote, a photo or make text bold, italic... 😬
What’s wrong with the font ???
I think it looks great.
I agree - on iPad it looks ace....
Something odd about Safari on my MBP, looks so much more washed out than Firefox on my work PC. It's a little less washed out than before, but still looks very odd.
Looks good on the phone and it’s growing on me on the desktop. And that’s a 27in desktop so it being a bit larger is no issue for me at all. Also I now know what a Serif font is and there’s a shortcut in Safari for 😎👍
Every day’s a school day. Good effort fellas.
