@ZenSwift You can probably use AI to do that for you.

I can probably get AI to scrape it, but not make it pretty

@ZenSwift You can download and save entire webpages in their exact format for offline viewing.

If a blog post is important to you, you can download the whole page or use some bookmarking system. And quotes are easy to download as images. That's why I made them images in the first place, so they could be downloaded and shared.

Serif fonts are more suited for longer, serious reading material. That's why journalists use it and books use it.

Sans fonts are more for shallow web material, UI, menus, etc.

I remember reading it somewhere that sans is actually more readable on displays, while serif is best for printed content. Not sure whether it's true or the main reason. Serif conveys more seriousness indeed.

The font you used to use was easy on the eyes to read and became iconic to actualized. I’d say don’t fix what is not broken.

I don't like the new font. Nothing on the website is serif. It stands out too much. All the promo materials, all the UI, everything is sans-serif, and only this one thing is serif.

The new font feels too gothy for me. I feel like I'm reading the Bible. What about some of the Roboto's?

 

@Leo Gura @mmKay I feel the same way

The old font is better IMO.

Personally, I would have gone for a sans serif font without the heavy boldness. 

However, serif is rather timeless. More akin to an insight removed from the human speaker. Serif fonts appear sensitive to weight and spacing in a way sans serif does not. 

I am definitely one to suspend judgement on my own personal like/dislike of the change. Always with personal aesthetics, music, smells and tastes; I take a while to let it digest, influence and change my perception 😃

Has there only ever been one typeface for quotes?

I honestly love the new font.

I like 4th, 9th, and 11th.
