Now that we've all had a few months to live with the changes to the site fonts, I wanted to revisit the issue. How do you like the font setup in the wikia skin?

What do you think now of the overall typographic design of the site, now that we've been on this font scheme for a few months now? Do you think it looks better or worse than the default Wikia fonts seen on most other Wikia wikis? Are there things you'd change about it? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | What do you think now of the overall typographic design of the site, now that we've been on this font scheme for a few months now?

We've had it all upper case for a while, so now let's give lowercase a shot. I'd appreciate your comments on whether you think this is an improvement. | We've had it all upper case for a while, so now let's give lowercase a shot.

:Lower case is ''worse'' than upper case. Uppercase at least has the aesthetic of a heading, lowercase just looks…weird and not a heading. | :Lower case is ''worse'' than upper case. Uppercase at least has the aesthetic of a heading, lowercase just looks…weird and not a heading. | ||
