✨ Why the Same Font Can Look So Different — and How to Fix It
Can you spot the difference between these two pieces of text? They look different, right? But surprisingly, they're both using the same font. I discovered this while working on my portfolio site and browsing for design inspiration. That’s when I stumbled upon Brittany Chiang’s portfolio. Looks amazing, right? I really liked the typography. So I inspected the font and was shocked to find that it was Inter — the same font I used on my site. That left me wondering: Why does this same font look so much better on her site than on mine? I tried tweaking font weights and letter spacing, but something still felt off. Then I noticed it — the letter "a" looked different.
