(Train of Thought.) I was staring at a screen watching a bunch of packages and fonts loading while also coming up with something to post on Beehaw and that got me to beehaw and fonts. Which begs the question what font do you think should be the official font of Beehaw?

Have to admit. Waking up, checking this to see a fonts discussion and getting ideas for myself, and seeing this suggestion caused me to a) swallow hot coffee down the wrong tube and b) agree.

I've started using Atkinson Hyperlegible variants for everything by default. It's designed for legibility and what could be more important for a general-purpose font?

Do you know of any fonts that would make that one dude's replies with the thorn character actually legible? My glaucoma makes it a bitch to decipher so I tend to not even bother reading those replies.

Not sure of the person you're referring to, but I'd give Atkinson Hyperlegible a try :)

I downloaded it, just trying to figure out how to get it going on Android at this point. The website was easier to read than my current default at least.
