Sample text
Type on a screen has one job before any other: to get out of the reader’s way. A good headline face earns attention in a few words, then hands the reader on to the text without a jolt. Weight, contrast and spacing do that work quietly, long before anyone notices the shapes themselves.
Serving a font well matters as much as drawing it well. A small file, a long cache lifetime and a stylesheet that swaps in without hiding the text are the difference between a page that reads at once and one that makes people wait.
