We should also note that prior to these changes, our monospace font stack varied wildly. Same with Android, which is already being displayed in Roboto. We’d rather have the consistency be shifted to the device itself-when viewing Stack Overflow on iOS, it’ll feel that much more native in San Francisco. We’re currently only achieving consistency between macOS, iOS, and Windows, leaving 2 platforms to choose their system font.

However, Arial doesn’t ship with Linux distros or Android devices. We originally chose Arial because it was available on the widest set of devices, allowing us to have a consistent experience wherever you were. For example, in dark mode, we could drop our font weights a bit for better readability. With more weights, we can have better hierarchy. Apple’s San Francisco and Microsoft’s Segoe both look great on retina displays, have more expressive weights, and improve readability across all contexts.
Modern system typefaces look better on both new high DPI screens, and old screens alike. Arial was first created in 1982, and has served the web well for decades. Like GitHub, our original font stack used Arial across macOS, iOS, and Windows. Mark Otto put it really well on his personal blog, documenting GitHub’s rationale for switching. Monospace // The final fallback for rendering in monospace. Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, // A few sensible system font choices

"Cascadia Mono", "Segoe UI Mono", // Newer Windows monospace fonts that are optionally installed. Sans-serif // The final fallback for rendering in Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, // San Francisco Mono on macOS and iOS
"Roboto", "Noto Sans", "Droid Sans", // Chrome OS and Android with fallbacks apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, // San Francisco on macOS and iOS Here’s the exact font stack we’ve specified that’ll go live on the 10th. We really don't do much with serifs anyway, and we don’t want to mess with the themes that rely on them. We’re leaving serif fonts alone so those will stay as Georgia, Cambria, Times New Roman, Times, and then serif as a fallback.

We’ll also use their monospace equivalents when writing in code or rendering keyboard keys.Ĭonsolas, or Cascadia Mono, Segoe UI Mono if you've installed those manually On macOS and iOS, you’ll see things set in San Francisco. We’re planning on specifying system fonts on Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange Network.
TL DR We’re shipping system fonts as our default font stack.

If this follow-up works, I’ll make sure to update the screenshots in this original post in a third update. I’ll get to chipping away at the small issues once we iron out the bigger ones. I’ve read every comment and answer here and I think this strikes a balance between how we want to move forward and issues people have had in good faith. Mine are also aging-always have been, always will be ? I’ve got long term goals of bumping those up a point or two. The base font size is 13px and we even show some bits of UI at 11px.
