Oh you mean the blog with the long s? I was reading a lot of books at the time that were written before 1800 and I found it so fascinating how different typography was back then. I found a font I could pay for called Quant that did a really good job reproducing archaic ligatures and the long s, so I used it on a blog for a short period of time. Sadly it got negative feedback. So lately I've been focusing on https://justine.lol/ which uses Roboto. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it!

ahhh ligatures, that's the word I was looking for here. Yeah it was kind of irritating but good blog content so I just read it anyways. it was kind of hard not to read it as someone lisping everything though.
Perhaps next time I'll blog in elvish cryptograms.
