Fonts
Headings use the Oswald font. This is a variable-weight font with weights of 200–700.
Body text uses the Lora font. This is a variable-weight font with weights of 400–700. I chose it mostly for the beautiful italics. Too many fonts have italics that seem like an afterthought.
Tables use the Inter font. This is a variable font with weights of 100–900 and variable slants. It supports OpenType features such as tabular numbers, making it a good choice for tables.
Code blocks use the Fira Code VF font. This is a monospaced, variable-weight font with weights of 300–700. It supports many programming ligatures, such as !=
displaying as ≠
.
Diagrams use the F25 Executive font. This is kind of a novelty font meant to look like a typewriter.
