Yeah, I indeed spend some effort to steal the fonts from asciidoctor and https://www.teamten.com/lawrence/programming/ (highly recommend both).

And yes, I myself am struggling with ragged right. I really wish to have proper text hyphenation and justification, to have a book-like feel. Sadly, justification without hyphenation looks ugly, and `hyphens: auto` doesn’t work well (and wasn’t supported in chrome last time I checked).

I am pretty baffled that such basic (in terms of impact, not in terms of complexity of implementation) feature isn’t widely available.

Although I am not a web designer, so I might be missing some simple way to solve this.




I came to the comment section to compliment the choice of Garamond.

The web would look much more beautiful with proper justification. It's a pity technology is not there yet. TeX solved the problem for DVI/PDFs long ago, so maybe we should start blogging on PDFs!


Actually, chrome added support for `hypthen: auto` not so long ago!
