Read Original

This article discusses the evolution of using system fonts in web browsers, moving beyond the shorthand 'font' property. It details a new method where specific font-family stacks target different operating systems (like -apple-system for macOS/iOS, Segoe UI for Windows). It provides examples from WordPress, Medium, Ghost, and GitHub, explaining the logic behind the font order to ensure the correct system font is loaded.
