This is how it renders for me as of now. According to the code the font should be "Whitney" but it seems it's not found and I'm seeing Helvetica..
Can you guys see it, or it's a problem on my side? (I'm suspecting proxy)
EDIT: I should've looked closer at the inspector - the root cause is missing resource over at typography.com, from where Whitney is grabbed.. either they stopped serving the stylesheet, or DN team forgot to update some links in their HTML.
EDIT 2 It's fixed! What a relief ;)
It’s been this way for months now. It’s become the default for me.
Having said that, I’d like to see DN hop on the system fonts bandwagon. I really like the idea of raw/performant design on the resources I visit often.
strange, not later than yesterday DN looked to me as always - with the Whitney font in place.
Totally agree about using system fonts in more places. I think Designer News would look very good in SF UI (on macOS at least).
Perhaps. What we're seeing now is Helvetica, which is close, but I still prefer the Whitney font. Current state is just an anomaly that happened few hours ago.
Keep in mind that's not a system font on Windows.
Call me crazy - but I actually preferred the site in Helvetica... Maybe it's just because it was 'new'...?
Wondering if this an indication of how often the DN team checks the site out...still the same 10hrs later.
There's a DN team? Could have fooled me.
Make DesignerNews Great Again!
Just noticed it this morning before seeing this post; must be a new thing.
Hoping this is a mistake, not a permanent change.
it is a mistake.. problem with font resource at typography.com
Whitney is back! I wanna dance with somebody!
Noticed it right away, hope it was a mistake :p
Same here.
