Font makes values hard to read. #4

Closed esbeto closed 9 years ago

I don't know if I'm the only one, but the Raleway font makes it hard to read values at first glance.

For example I was confused about the value for backbone:

I definitely agree. I never really considered it because I got so used to Raleway.

I just tried adjusting the letterspacing, but it still didn't look right. I think I'm going to use a monospaced font for the weights only. What do you think of the 300 point version of this?

I tried Droid Sans Mono, Source Code Pro 300, Inconsolata, and Roboto Mono 300. In my opinion the best options are Inconsolata and Roboto Mono. Buy maybe I would gear towards Roboto because of the lighter weight. It's more close to the design aesthetic.

Alright, the font change is live. I ended up going with Roboto. I really appreciate your input. Thank you!
