Change the primary font from Roboto

+1
−1

I have nothing against Roboto, I think it's a lovely font and has it's use case.

I find it challenging to read when you have anything more than a sentence or two.

I don't have a perfect alternative, but Inter by Rasmus Andersson seems like it could be a nice choice.

What makes you think Inter looks better to you? (wondering as someone who can barely tell the difference between Arial and Calibri)

@Moshi Inter's kerning take up slightly more space than Roboto. I'll concede, most of the letters are extremely similar and very difficult to spot the difference. I'm not necessarily proposing a switch to Inter, rather a switch from Roboto with something which is easier on the eyes...

I don't know what all these fonts are called, but I rather like the one currently in use. I find it easy to read. "Challenging to read" is meaningless without concrete examples of what is confusing, and how it could be better.
