What are your go-to neutral-ish sans serif fonts that *aren't* just clones of Helvetica? These eight are my favourites. I made a whole video about them and everything (with a tl;dr at the beginning).

For your typographic holiday reading, here’s @fhardwig on a songbook with Christmas carols produced by artists of the Werkstatt Haus zum Fürsteneck … in 1940: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/11409/lieder-zur-weihnachtszeit-1940

“As soon as one starts reading, one is painfully reminded that the heyday of this workshop in the tradition of the Arts and Crafts movement coincided with Nazism, and that its members allowed those in power to coopt their talents for propaganda purposes. As beautiful as Claudius and the two-colored musical notation might be, the joy is spoiled by the content which is drenched in the unholy zeitgeist.”

The challenges of viewing distance, screen variability, lighting conditions, and non-touch interaction all collide—and small typography and low contrast are usually the first things to break. It’s a reminder—especially on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities—that accessibility isn’t a side note, but central to resilient design.
