"Specifying custom fonts is largely a waste of bandwidth for a very marginal improvement in aesthetic...They should stop caring about the little details that much"

For many websites, the choice of font can make a noticeable difference to the appearance of the site and yes, make it more aesthetically pleasing. Of course, it's best to choose only a minimal number of font weights to keep downloads size to a minimum.




Checkout variable fonts. With them, you only load 1 single font file(abit a bit bigger) and specify the weights and styles through css.
