Using CSS Custom Properties to Adjust Variable Font Weights in Dark Mode
10.12.2020
Black isn’t always slimming.
When recently testing a dark mode option for one of my sites, I experienced first-hand the issue that Robin Rendle addresses in this article. All of my page text — headings and body copy — appeared to bulk up when I switched to dark mode. And it didn’t matter what fonts...
font-weight: 300 considered harmful
7.8.2020
Tomáš Janoušek:
Many web pages these days set font-weight: 300 in their stylesheet. With DejaVu Sans as my preferred font, this results in very thin and light text that is hard to read, because for some reason the “DejaVu Sans ExtraLight” variant (weight 200) is being used...

25.6.2019
Hilarious idea by Zach Leatherman. To test if a comment is "snarky" or not, there is an npm package up to the task.

Regarding CSS’s Global Scope

html {
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
}
With the except of some form elements, you've just set a font on every bit of text on a site! Nice! That's probably what you were trying to do, because of the probably hundreds of elements all over your site, setting that font-family every time would...
