Some Typography Blog Posts I've Bookmarked and Read Lately

Here are some blog posts about typography that I have collected and read recently:

• Font size: An unexpectedly complex CSS property —A 2017 article by Manish Goregaokar. Many of these strange things, I found font: medium monospace rendering to 13px and font: medium sans-serif rendering to 16px is particularly strange.
• Appropriate row heights – Since CSS supports unitless row heights, you probably shouldn't set a fixed value.
• It's time to say goodbye to Google Fonts – Simon Wicki doesn't mean not using them, but hosting them yourself. The browser starts isolating caches on a per-domain basis, so the old argument that “users may have cached it” is no longer tenable. I thought I would hear more about controlling font loading, but it's just about caching.
• My favorite 2020 font – John Boardley’s Choice. Have you seen these "color fonts"? They are so cool. Look at LiebeHeide, it looks like a real handwriting.
• How to avoid layout offsets caused by web fonts - We now have CLS (cumulative layout offsets), which is a very important performance metric that will soon start to affect SEO. And, since we can control font loading with CSS via font-display , this means it's terrible if the content we set causes font loading to change the page layout. I like Simon Hearne’s suggestion of adjusting our custom fonts and fallback fonts to match perfectly. I think the perfect backup font is one of the best CSS tips.
• How to choose fonts for user interface and application design? ——Oliver Schöndorfer argues for “functional text,” which refers to all non-body text (e.g. paragraph text) or displayed text (e.g. title). “Clarity is key.”
