[teampractices] 2 interesting articles about design

[Max Binder]

Interesting. I've always read that Sans Serif was better for screens, and
Serif was better for paper, but I'd buy that that was based on old-screen
protocol. The real question is, do you want to be *that person* who has the
funky font in Gmail? (I also wonder what the benefit is if the default is
Sans Serif and there are only a small percentage of folks using an
alternative font. Is it disruptive?)
