Discussion on: 😍 or 🤮 What do you think of our design? [and a little bit on accessible colour schemes]

Good point, haven't picked a font yet (in fact, spoilers...going to make our own, don't tell anyone!).

At the moment it is just Century Gothic so that is probably why it doesn't jump out at you (but it is a similar style to the font we will create!)

Great feedback ❤

A very attractive font, for us it wouldn't work due to the inconsistent height of letters ("t" for example) as that might make things harder to read for people with dyslexia.

We will be designing something similar to fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins?... and fonts.google.com/specimen/Comforta... but with a wider range of variance and the ability to adjust the axis for italics.

Should be interesting as I have never designed a variable font before!

I will see if that fits with what we are looking for as a good stop gap option!

You will notice the text in the InHu logo is a custom design, so I think a custom font that incorporates those elements in capital letters is the way we are going to go (the "N" is unique I think!).

Plus, how much fun it will be to learn how to create a variable font (if it is anything like the last time I made a font it will take about 2 days! 🤣)
