Feeling pretty good with your CSS and looking to take the next step up in your game? This course might be what youโre after ๐ https://beyondcss.dev/?utm_campaign=general&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=fontstacks
Web fonts have made the web a much nicer looking place, but if we donโt put the work in to host them properly and optimize them, they can be heavy files that slow things down and lead to FOITs and FOUTs, which is never great for the user experience.
Luckily, modern font stacks can help a lot with that!
