    I'm a web programmer, but sometimes I get tricked into helping people out with their WordPress sites, and I can tell you that I have never had a worse experience. The backend of the one I'm currently saddled with makes no sense whatever. I mean, WTF is this Elementor thing? Everything just seems bolted on instead of actually integrated into some kind of actual framework. It's just a mess.

    I was so happy to read this article. I’ve been in love with this typeface for a long time without knowing anything about it.

    Another place it (or something very similar) turns up is Japanese websites when they need to render the Latin alphabet. That’s where I first became consciously aware of it. It seemed so wonderfully functional and no-nonsense.
