Heard #GNOME are trying to replace #Cantarell with #Inter as their default #UI #typeface?
Would hate to see Cantarell go. It has great #character, and hits some really right spots in terms of #metrics and #hinting on medium #dpi
The venerable #DejaVu and #Liberation families never really looked right for me, (and neither did #Qt's font rendering under 1080p, FWIW) - but as far as #FOSS fonts go, #Cantarell on #720p-#1440p IPS is up there with what #Georgia and #Verdana were on #480p-#600p #CRT
