Hi, I was wondering how I can obtain the iA Serif font, as the GitHub link is broken and I couldn’t find it in the official repository. Thanks for any help!

44

I installed Kalam and Playwrite.

How can I choose when typing?
Currently, my reading view is in Kalam.

45

Ah, yes. Sorry, I took the repo down because of a request from the fonts’ creator. You can still obtain the fonts by downloading iA Writer (I downloaded the trial) and going through the program’s files.

Otherwise, Lusitana on Google Fonts looks a lot like iA Serif. Maybe the line height is even better, in my opinion.

46

Did you mean “IBMPlexSerif”? There is no iA Serif font.

47

I always use a combination of Cascadya, Jetbrains, Cantarell and iA Writer fonts.

48

I’ve recently switched from iA Writer Duo to Inter. Beautiful on-screen font.

Inter - Google Fonts

49

Inter is the default font in Obsidian, so it’s included with the install. It is a great font … I keep trying others and finding myself changing back.

At the moment I’m using Cantarell, which I agree doesn’t look great on the linked font preview page, but somehow looks great in Obsidian at a regular body text size.

50

That looks amazing, Is that a theme or did you do that with css?

51

I recently installed New Rome Trial for headings. It looks amazing and supports latin and cyrillic scripts.

52

There is an iA Serif font. It is in the program files of iA Writer. The closest font I’ve found to it is Lusitana on Google Fonts. IBM Plex Serif looks distinctly different.

Thanks. But I really can’t find it. :thinking:

Ah! Okay, I just remembered that I got the iA Serif font from the official website. I think went to their blog or something, liked the font they used, so I opened up the inspector and found the .ttf file.

55

Noto Sans is always a good choice when looking for a full set of glyphs.

56

I never thought I’d like monospaced fonts, but moving into Obsidian has changed that. Current for me is Cascadia Code.

57

Quicksand for interface
Maven Pro for text
Jetbrains Mono for monospace
Laila Semibold for H1
Peignot for H2-H6

Text and interface fonts are the best combo of legibility and aesthetics, while headings fonts add some zing and make them standout.
