Abstract Nonsense

The font of all knowledge

TIL that Google Search has a font-based Easter Egg. If you search for “Georgia font”, the results page will change the typeface to Georgia. I initially thought it was limited to System-fonts, but Wikipedia shows that it works for Roboto too!

I discovered this when looking up various fonts for this blog. I initially specified the default browser sans-serif font in my CSS, but ended up switching to Georgia for the text-body as I find it more readable for longer posts. There are some beautiful fonts in Google Font I’d love to use, but for now I’m going to stick with the System Font Stack to avoid loading more external resources on page-load.
