Why is text so faint and small ?
2 comments

Raleway is such a poor typeface choice. They even forgot to import the italic styles from Google.
I think I made a mistake - taking personal feelings over user experiences.

I'll consider using the Open Sans font for body texts.

Thanks! Besides, please consider to make headlines bold again. That would help a lot with content hierarchy.
Got it! I'll handle this later.

I'm going to sleep now.

Good night!

FWIW I think the font choice is perfectly fine.
Thanks!

I'm glad you like the feeling of the font.

But everybody has his own tastes. I need make the decision after some consideration.

Luda uses native font stacks by default, and the default font size of body texts is 14px(can be changed easily by setting a sass variable).

For the official site, I used the Raleway font. I know Raleway is a font designed mainly for leading texts, but I really like its feeling.
