Thank you. A long overdue article.

I’m currently fighting with my main software. It uses gray on gray, a small font you can’t change or resize, and highlights important messages with weak red and green text that I cannot see as “non-gray” due to the fonts size and thin-ness. So it is hard for me to find the few important lines in maybe twenty pages of output.

Ignore the fads and go back to the typographic principles of print — keep your type black, and vary weight and font instead of grayness.

Also provide a dark mode or make sure automatic dark mode transforms work.

Also provide a good base font size and do not use serifs for body copy like the article.
