It seems Valkyrie is again the default font, which is great. With it, the site is the most beautiful thing on the whole web, every interval and spacing on it being just right—or at least having been so in the first edition, as I'm not yet seeing what's different now. I'm repeatedly consumed with envy at the author, not so far able to achieve such perfection myself.

Actually, the site is set in Equity, but there is an option at the bottom to set it to Valkyrie :)

Weird. I'm more-or-less sure about Valkyrie being the past default. At one point I discovered with dismay that Century Supra was used instead, for me. But now, I even checked in a private window before posting the above comment, and it was Valkyrie again.

Perhaps the font is selected quasi-randomly depending on the visitor's ip. Anyway, I stand by the word that Valkyrie is the best for the site.

(Also the mobile version seems to have lost the font switcher, so there's a chance readers on their phones don't and can't get the Valkyrie experience.)
