/wd/ - Web Design

fr every single modern landing page is starting to look identical because everyone is too afraid to move away from standard sans-serif stacks. we have access to incredible variable fonts that can adapt to any viewport, yet designers keep reverting to the same three grotesque faces. it feels like we are losing the expressive soul of web design in favor of pure accessibility and safety. using a heavy serif for headers isnt a crime against usability or a technical impossibility.
>typography defines the brand identity more than any grid system ever could
if you rely entirely on system fonts, you are basically letting the browser decide your visual hierarchy for you. we should be experimenting with weight distribution and optical sizing instead of just sticking to what is easy to implement. the real problem is that most designers prioritize a quick handoff over actual artistry . lets stop treating every project like it needs to follow the same bland, corporate template. we need to bring back some grit and character into our layouts.
