It’s something of an obsession. I’ve tried dozens of sans serif fonts in Pagecord, trying to find the perfect combination of readability and style. Yet the one remains elusive.
I started with Inter because of Tailwind. I’ve since been through Google Fonts and Fontshare, and while I really like the subtleties of many of the fonts like Satoshi, they just don’t feel quite right when used to render a Pagecord blog. Geist is close, and one I’m still considering, but the fact that I’m not 100% on it means it’s probably not the one. So Inter it still is.
I’m super happy with my choice of serif (Source Serif Pro) and monospace (IBM Plex Mono), yet I remain unsettled with Inter. It’s an excellent font, don’t get me wrong, but I wonder if it’s the ubiquity of it that makes me want to find an alternative? Design snobbery, perhaps, or just a typography fan trying to find something new and beautiful.
