bump font-weight? #155

Closed TerribleDev closed 8 years ago

So this is just a general observation. I feel like regular text in posts get washed out a little with the background. I altered some of my css files where I bumped the font-weight to 400 and I set the default font size to 1.7rem, and the typography stood out sooo much better.

Would you consider making these changes? I have heard from other people that they feel the font is a little muted as well.

I'll try that. I come back to you

Thanks, its just a suggestion. Feel free to tell me I'm dumb. I'm not a designer. I don't know what really makes good design, but I do feel the font needs to be either bigger, or bolder, or some zazz that I am not aware of.

One of the things that I think makes the ghostium theme stand out is how vivid the typography is.

Side note I do love your theme, so I really thank you for making it!

Could you add a screen please? to see what it gives. Also which browser do you use?

Chrome

Steps to repro:

set .post to font-weight: 400 set body to font-size: 1.7rem
