Sigh, yet another site that contorts into an absurd distortion of a mobile layout at a still spacious viewport width. Am I the only person with two windows up?

This actually increased the line length.

Pardon me asking, but what font (cipher? language?) are your tab titles and menus in? I don't recognize it, and I'm familiar with quite a few ciphers. (I initially thought it was another language, but it's clearly a transliteration of English.)

It’s just a silly font, still a work in progress. Inspired by https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@Nifflas/109330930338202763

Could you share what font editor you used, and whether you're using ligatures?

FontForge, despite its antiquated interface, and liberal use of ligatures:

The biggest challenge has been keeping it legible while dense. Ultimately I’d like to give it aesthetics similar to a roman serif, but for now still experimenting with the basic construction.

Lovely, thank you! Thinking of giving this a shot. Let me know if you post about the font anywhere.

I just noticed that "L" and "R" are left and right arrows respectively. That's delightful.

Apparently I only gave it a quick glance because I thought it was Arabic
