Hey Folks!

We've been playing and discussing Calibri, Aptos ( Bierstadt ), Grandview, Seaford, Tenorite and Skeena over on Tildes and I figured you folks would enjoy clicking around and seeing what the differences between them actually are.

I wrote the article, so let me know if there's something you'd like to see as well :D

Cheers !

On that paragraph about prominence, what I do notice is that the letters are way more closed, with less noticeable gaps, for example with a letter 'c'. To those with weaker eyesight, the letters may be seen as an 'o'. But a great article and I liked the comparisons.

Now that you say that, I liked Aptos' G, but now I dislike it because it'll likely make things harder for people with poor eyesight.
