I spent weeks on the typography and on choosing a font. Went through so many different styles. I ended up on Owners by MCKL [^0] because I personally like the ultra-wide font trend, and I liked its Text variant as well. Bummed to hear that others aren't a fan of it. Oh well, design is pretty subjective.

And it may be over-designed. It was my first foray back into design since switching careers to programming about 10 years ago. Maybe I took it a bit too far? Felt good to stretch those muscles, though. :)

That wide font is on purpose?! No offense, but I was sure something went wrong with rendering the page.

It didn't quite register as a "display" font variant usually does for me either -- the only feature is the width (it's a nonfancy sans-serif, what do you expect) so it somehow just feels like it's been squished. Intellectually I know it's definitely not a simple scale-transformation and must have involved some curve work to make it look less off, but I just can't shake the feeling of having seen text getting run over by a truck.
