<h1>Why I Switched Fonts</h1>
<pstyle="font-size:110%">Posted on: <strong>4 August 2023</strong></p><pstyle="font-size:110%">Reading time: <strong><strong>1 min</strong><pstyle="font-size:110%"></strong>Category: <astyle="color:#ff79c6"href="../blog/software/"><strong>Software</strong></a></p>
<p>This post is just a quick update to announce a hard decision that I have made. I have switched the font on this website from <ahref="https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/">JetBrains Mono</a> to <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_(typeface)">Courier New</a>. This change was made because I feel like JetBrains Mono looks more fitting in a terminal because it looks janky on a website. Courier New is a monospace font but still maintains the feeling and look I want from my website.</p>
<p>This change has had an unintended benefit. Previously, my website's homepage weighed around 50KB in size which is spectacular. However, what I did not realize was that around 40KB were being taken up by JetBrains Mono. By switching to a default typeface, my website now weighs a shockingly low 12KB.
