    Take an overview of material.io guides buddy. Your precious time won't be wasted. :)

    just find a site that looks cool and then Frankenstein it with another one. use chrome extensions to see what fonts are in the page.

    @akshar Material is a bit overused. It's great for a start, but it gets very boring because of how Google put it everywhere.

    Web typography’s hard. On the other hand, spending a bunch of time in terminal windows made me pretty judgmental about monospace ligatures:

    > is that a `->` or a `→`?

    > who cares? my `>=` looks like a damned `≥`!

    @akshar @Lor-inc Yeah I'm super not a fan of Material design.

    @LucasLarson They work because, unless your language designers are complete idiots or it's an esolang, neither of the unicode chars you just wrote should appear outside string literals.
