Introducing Adwaita Fonts (crosspost) (blogs.gnome.org)

I quite like the new adaita font, though it has a bit less character than that new font open suse published a little while back.

But something more neutral isn't strictly a bad thing for an interface font I suppose

Hope y'all are having a good day :)

Note that there still have been no studies on its efficacy. At worst, it is a great font to avoid ambiguity between characters.
