TYPOGRAPHY

The $base-font-size is currently set at 20px with the $base-line-height of 1.3, or 26px. 400 and 700 font weights are used for regular or bold text respectively.

All fonts are available from Google fonts

The body text is set in EB Garamond:

EB Garamond is a free and open source implementation of Claude Garamont’s Antiqua typeface Garamond and the matching Italic, Greek and Cyrillic characters designed by Robert Granjon. Its name is an acronym for Egenolff-Berner-Garamond which refers to the fact that the letter forms are taken from the Egenolff-Berner specimen printed in 1592.

The code blocks are set in IBM Plex Mono:

When we set out to create a typeface that was unmistakably IBM, our own history was our greatest source of inspiration. IBM has always served as a medium between mankind and machine. Between the natural and the engineered. The emotional and rational. The classic and the cutting-edge. Our most important job is to help humanity and technology move forward together. IBM Plex® brings these relationships to life through letterforms.
