I agree wholeheartedly, it's readable, but oh so ugly and brutalistic :P

You're not wrong about compactness, that's a really good point!

Thank you ! I'm a bit overwhelmed by the positive resonance so far, so now I'm wondering what to write after that will give me the same high haha :)

OK, debate solved, serifs -> stroke terminals

Now that you say that, I liked Aptos' G, but now I dislike it because it'll likely make things harder for people with poor eyesight.

I liked arial

OK, you're the only person who has managed to make me angry hehe :)

Someone actually likes Arial ??!!

What are the “display” variants of the new fonts in that article? They're called that, at least on Office 365: Aptos Display, Grandview Display, etc.

Genial ! Ya mismo ⚡!

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.

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 !
