I guess all designers at fly were replaced by ai because this article is using gray bold font for the whole text. I remember these guys had good blog some time ago

The design hasn't changed in years. If someone has a screenshot and a browser version we can try to figure out why it's coming out fucky for you.

Looking at the css, there's a .text-gray-600 CSS style that would cause this, and it's overridden by some other style in order to achieve the actual desired appearance. Maybe the override style isn't loading - perhaps the GP has javascript disabled?

Thanks! Relayed.

javascript is enabled but I don't see the problem on another phone, so yeah seems related

Not sure if that was changed since then, but it's not bold for me and also readable. Maybe browser rendering?
Re:Corrosion by ceigey on Monday October 27, 2025 @09:22AM (#45720798)
Also not bold for me (Safari). Variable font rendering issue?

stock safari on ios 26 for me. is it another of 37366153 regressions of ios 26?

Looks normal to me on iOS 26.0.1

stock safari on ios

and I think the intended webfont is loaded because the font is clearly weird ish and non-standard and the text is invisible for good 2 seconds at first while it loads:)

latest macos firefox and safari both show grey on white, legible but contrast somewhat lacking, but rendered properly for grey on white.

Please try the article mode in your web browser. Firefox has a pretty good one but I understand all major browsers have this now.

I only use article mode in exceptional cases. I hold fly to higher standard than that.

D'awwwwww.

It's totally unreadable.

Looks like it always has, to me.
