Sans serif. Sans satisfaction.
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.
