Dave on Design is intended to give a pure reading experience somewhat like the ‘reader mode’ in browsers, with a focus on typography inspired by pre-WW2 print. Some complex CSS allows mimicking early 20th century style sentence spacing. Following the design theme, the logo is also an old print-style engraving.
EB Garamond is a natural choice for the main text, and Sorts Mill Goudy for the slightly old-fashioned but elegant headings that lean into the century-old aesthetic.
