Oh wow I wish that font was even remotely readable

I know we're not supposed to go off on website stuff (per guidelines: "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage") but jfc who thought this design was even remotely a good idea?

At first I thought Artanis was a new font! And even reading the text I couldn't shake the impression that they were offering me this weird font with each character cut up by horizontal lines.

When I zoomed in it looks kind of cute. Maybe I should download the Artanis font after all.

Somebody who doesn't want the same bland, boring, homogenized look that every other website in the world is using?

Personally I like a site that shows a bit of personality. It's quirky, but for an open source web framework written in Guile, it looks about perfect to me.

Yes the crazy sci-fi font is hard to read, but I have to give them props for being unique. I even like the grammatical mistakes, it's so different than the ultra-polished stuff we usually see here. This project has personality !

"You have personality. That's not necessarily a good personality, but you have some!"

I agree and it's a fun look. If anyone actually can't read it, the reader mode button is available and works just fine.
