Posted to Low-hanging design fruit: using Google Font superfamilies by @fontpair, in reply to Tyler Renfro , Apr 03, 2018 Wow. I can honestly say I've never seriously considered using system fonts for my web design projects. I bet it's because of the reasons you highlighted here.
I'm the creator of Font Pair and I built that with the sole focus of helping people pair Google Fonts. This is interesting though. I wonder if I should extend it to also helping people pair system fonts that already exist on their computers...
Posted to Low-hanging design fruit: using Google Font superfamilies by @fontpair, in reply to Tyler Renfro , Apr 02, 2018 I agree. I get that sense as well. Why do you think that is? I have some thoughts as Ed has mentioned already but I'm curious on your opinion.
