There are quite a few grammatical errors on that page which is surprising, as much because of the sites subject as the fact that Swedes excel at English

Sorry, I know HN isn’t a support forum, but am I the only one who gets “Safari couldn’t establish a secure connection” to any of the archive.xx sites? It’s been happening for ages now.
Are you using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS by any chance?
Does Cloudflare DNS block it? Or are you proposing Cloudflare DNS as a solution?

It's kind of sad that sweden.se can't handle a couple of thousand visitors under a short period of time.
sweden.se is fine; it's identity.sweden.se that's having some problems. This is a really limited site with a target audience that's normally in the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of developers. It's probably just running on a cheap server/VPS somewhere, which is fine almost all of the time.
No, it's running on debroome which uses AWS.

#64Sweden using Ø for 0 is so insensitive towards their fellow Scandic neighbors to the west! Such a Swedish thing to do.

I’ve been experiencing this intermittently lately as well.

#66Not to take away from Sweden, but Estonia also has something like this: https://brand.estonia.ee/guidelines/typography/?lang=en
Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all, but the Swedish work is largely quite pretty and readable where the Estonian guidelines are an excellent of what designers do when they can get away with it or the client is too compliant / eager to be different. (source: am designer)
The intro claims the character of the Estonia brand is "nordic, surprising, smart" but the Aino font in particular seems way too focused on being surprising at the expense of legibility, which certainly diminishes expression of the smart element.

Typographic documentation is for designers generally, but there is a world where this can actually help everyone. Designers should make consistent designs. By doing this Developers can create functional designs systems that have sane default behaviors. Once you can get to that point, the system serves to reduce the load from the dev, not increase. I have created a tailwind-based design system interpretation like this…
Good points which I generally agree with, but I still think it's common to see a remarkable level of time and effort spent on typography compared to even other parts of the frontend. Not always, but surprisingly often. Many companies have these style guides around typography. Beautiful, thoughtful, very well made things for sure, yet when some backend dev makes a typo so the custom font drops to arial or whatever, it…

We spend a lot more time reading body text than scrolling through menus or fiddling with radiobuttons.

#68France also has its own design system and font (Marianne): https://www.systeme-de-design.gouv.fr/elements-d-interface/f...
Berlin has Berlin Type

Graphics design manuals predate computers. They were first used in the real world, with real physical objects like signs, and perhaps the most famous is the London Underground, whose font is pretty much synonymous with British culture at this point.

It's a long story! https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/
In short if you use Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS then some archive.is domains won't load so you should perhaps use another DNS server.
Edit: Not because 1.1.1.1 is in the wrong it is just what the person behind archive.is recommends as he will not be changing his position and neither will Cloudflare so it's a bit of a stalemate.
