Inter is safe. But safe is boring. A guide to pairing typefaces that give your site personality without sacrificing readability.
This is where the full article content goes. In production, this pulls from a CMS like Sanity or renders from MDX. The layout — hero parallax, staggered title reveal, clean reading column — is designed to make long-form content feel immersive.
The Approach
Every decision in this layout was intentional. Space Grotesk for headings — bold, geometric, modern — paired with DM Sans for body copy, which brings warmth and readability that keeps readers engaged through long articles. The dark theme uses warm grays instead of pure black, reducing eye strain without losing contrast.
// Note
The GSAP ScrollTrigger animations on this page reveal content progressively as you scroll, creating a sense of discovery. Each element appears when it enters the viewport, with staggered timing for a rhythmic feel.
Why It Matters
A blog is not just content — it is an experience. The scroll animations, the bento grid on the homepage, the parallax hero, the subtle grain texture — these details separate a forgettable blog from one readers bookmark and return to. Motion creates personality. Typography creates voice. Color creates mood.
What Comes Next
Connect to Sanity CMS for editable content, add MDX support for code blocks, implement reading progress indicators, and add view counts. The foundation is solid — now it is about layering in the details that make it yours.
