That Time I Made A Website

It's a nice site for a non programmer although the font hurts my eyes a bit. Her server host must be thrilled now that her site probably overloaded their box with requests.

Thanks for the feedback! I was having a bit of a debate with myself on whether or not I should keep the font, since the punctuation kind of bugs me, so I'll definitely look into that.

Remember that OSX makes fonts a lot thicker so this font looks insanely thin on other OSs. I'm on linux with ubuntu font rendering which is somewhat thicker than windows and it looks to thin to me.

Usually this means that it will look impossibly thin on Windows.

Raleway medium would look better, or you could look at some other fonts like Lato http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Lato

Wow, I had absolutely no idea. I'm on a Macbook so I'll definitely be more mindful of that from now on. Thanks so much, this is super helpful. And thanks for the suggestion!

I am also on ubuntu & firefox and font is almost only anti-alias for me, not even 1 px wide. I can't imagine Windows if it is thinner
