I would prefer to twist, but interested to see if I am the only one...
Like it so stick.
+1 twist
Can we have the old one back please
I'd like to be able to see more than 6 words on a line and 2 lines without scrolling
It wasn't broken so why has it been "fixed"?
Stick
Works for me, I’m pretty sure the great majority of people, being shown the new font, and what was used before, wouldn’t be able to see any difference whatsoever.
I like it.
It was initially a bit less legible but now the leading's been increased I think it's ok.
Stick
The only standout odd thing is the ST watermark, which does nothing other than highlight the frame boundary, other than that i think everything is starting to look alright.
Font is OK, the font size and word spacing is completely borked on Safari, looks like it's been set up for 2 years olds to learn to read....
Don't get what the problem is. The whole new website seems fine to me.
Spose that'd be a stick then!!
Looks fine to me
I'm viewing on safari and I'd agree the text is a little on the big side but then a lot of people were complaining about legibility so maybe it has to be that way for the middle aged cyclists with eyes like mr mole.

It's working fine ffor m, so stick. SwiftSwi cocou do wwit sorsorti though. But swiftSwi is a known prprobl, so I'll hhav to sort it mysmys.
(Swiftkey is a known problem, so I'll have to sort it myself) 🤔
Assuming I'm seeing it correctly (and it looks the same for me on both Android Chrome and Linux Vivaldi), I'm happy to stick with it.
Comic sans or I quit my P subs 😁

Font is fine, but please can it be darker?
(That was not an invitation to start a campaign...)
I quite like it. Which font is it?
I like the general style, but find it's too wide. I don't know why, but reading it makes my eyes feel strained.
I've been using my laptop for most of the evening & my computer at work across loads of websites & programs from Word to Pro/E to SAP, looking at pdfs and technical drawings. I've even downloaded & been fiddling around with Fusion 360 this evening - my eyes have been fine across all of this stuff, apart from the when reading the new font on the STW forum.....me no like.
Stick, although I still need my glasses to read it🤓
I don't much care for it. There are much more appropriate fonts out there. A bit style over substance. As we are stuck with it I'll live with it, especially if the navigation issues get fixed sometime soon and the formatting improves.
Stick, I like this version bar the still missing “threads I’ve replied too and now fresh they are function”.
Oh, and a tiny bit quicker too please, I’m on a 300Mbps line and it feels like dial up sometimes.
The font is a bit light for me. Legible enough shape, but not enough contrast.
Got old eyes, but no problem previous forum.
Still, the forum is getting there. 🙂

Oh...I should add that looking at the site now on my mobile and the font looks and reads fine. I don't get the same feeling of eye strain that I do looking at it via pc/laptop.
Stick!
RM.
on desktop, it'll do in the threads, just. But the blue/grey on the main page hurts your eyes though.
I'd also change it up a weight, just slightly, again just for eye staining purposes. It's a nice font, just a touch too light, particularly on anything but black.
if too many twist, they'll bust
so stick
looks alright to me on Chromium Linux and Chrome Android and FF Windows . Not sure what font it's supposed to be, but it's feasible the browser picks a substitute anyway if it was meant to be something fancy.
fixes still needed elsewhere as a higher priority imho, but that's one for one of the other threads.
As with pretty much everything else the old version was superior.
Current font doesn’t look good and is hard to read. Double basic fail.
Dip into the stickies in here and realise that it’s gets angsty when the obvious is pointed out. So won’t mention shambles.

Stick for me, it’s a font......I have larger things to think about than a font. Plus I work in IT and know that these changes and a website re-skin takes time and I bet the designer will be cheesed off if all their hard work was in vain...
Twist. Needs more weight on iPad. Looks fine on mobile browser though.
Fine for me on android 7 mobile.
Stick.
Stick - but enhanced contrast please.

... I’m pretty sure the great majority of people, being shown the new font, and what was used before, wouldn’t be able to see any difference whatsoever.....
Errr I'm not sure what you're seeing but it's clearly different to me! The new font on every device I've used is much bigger than it used to be, and seems to be a 'rounder' font, I think the characters are all slightly wider than the old font.
Actually, the font in the new reply box looks exactly like the old forum font (from old posts, not the old reply box). It's much smaller and has a larger character height:width ratio than what is used for the current forum. I'll see if I can manage a pic...
The text in this reply box is what the old forum used to display as on all my devices (android tablet and phone, windows 10 laptop). The old reply box used to be some sort of typewriter style like Courier New. Anyway, the new one is larger and rounder than the old one, visibly so, and I think is a bit less legible. But that's mainly because of the font width (and possibly the line spacing).
and a tiny bit quicker too please
Off-topic here, but STW is looking to move hosts. The current host can't cope with the traffic AFAIK.
It's Gash with a capital G, but would be low on my list of priorities.
Stick, I like it.
There are more important things to worry yourselves about than the font on a forum.
The designer will be cheesed off if all their hard work was in vain…
Well if people don't like your design then you arent that good at designing. As it happens I like me the forum on an iPad Mini and never go on the website much so all is good with me. Except the font. Fine for small amounts of copy but a bit tiring for more than that.
Stick, I like it. Not an old skool font snob.
