When remote fonts are blocked, the text is rendered with Comic Sans. Not a good look.
Starred, love this. I’m looking for something more than a reset but less than a framework on something at the moment and this is on my shortlist of places to look for inspiration about what modern advanced CSS looks like. Is there a central place for in-the-know CSS wizards to post and discuss their most recent next level demo? Years ago there was something called like CSS Zen Garden or something but times have moved…
Wow, you just stirred some ancient memories!

Actually don't put anything in uppercase - like underlining, it's a form of emphasis that has its origins in typewriters, which were locked to one typeface.
The uppercase letterforms are too similar -- there is no variation in the heights of the letters, so your eye finds it harder to read. Upper and lower case, you have letters like y and p and j which have descenders; b and d and t who have ascenders, and the variation is easier to parse.
For emphasis, please use size, weight, and italics.
Thank you.

OFL is a free and open source license. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIL_Open_Font_License#:…
That is a tremendously useful utility. Only annoyed they do not provide builds so I am going to have to install the Go tooling and/or re-implement my own half-baked version.
Worst case scenario, build it yourself inside on of the official Go docker containers.
