@Mandy_Kerr AFAIK browsers should be consistent in terms of mapping font weights, assuming they adhere to the spec. The relevant part of the spec is https://t.co/K083kbyseD. If you scroll a bit further down you'll find the`font-weight` section.

What does Wiki News and font metric tables have to do with layout shift caused by web fonts?

Come join me for a wild ride next Wednesday to see how we are putting an end to web font related page jank.

@ericclemmons @biomejs @boshen_c I could be misremembering, but you don't have to go all the way to eslint 9. You can still stay on 8 with the latest version of typescript-eslint, if you want to (temporarily) avoid all the flat config stuff.

🚨Milestone Alert🚨

PR is open to extend @capsizecss metrics to support different font weights and italics!

All metrics are now statically available in the `@‌capsizecss/metrics`, enabling the generation of weight and style aware fallback fonts🤯

🚀🛶 Exciting Capsize updates dropped last week 🥳

📐 Improved `xWidthAvg` metric
📦 Improved ESM compat + types (via 💥Crackle)

Here is what's changed 🧵

@levelsio While I'm sure that having a butcher cut up a steak right in front of you will be fresher than most stuff at a supermarket, a lower-waste future with more vac-packed meat is being held back by (often misguided) consumer opinion (red meat good, purple meat bad).

[Adam @askoufish]

@levelsio While the left steak would likely look worse than the right steak even out of the packaging, vac sealing is actually better in terms of freshness, food waste and packaging waste. The colour is merely a side-effect of the low oxygen environment. See https://t.co/kA430JzCEQ.

Just reached out to @nextjs for help on making the 🧁Vanilla Extract next-plugin more consistent. It would be great if anyone involved with Next could help out 🤞

Today we launched a refreshed homepage for SEEK. It's part of a new baseline uplift to the experience, driven mostly by a new theme in Braid.

Same system, same product but evolved usage with brand new space scale, radii, typography, even a web font.

Ask me anything.

[Mark Dalgleish @markdalgleish]

Vanilla Extract just shipped support for cascade layers with support for both locally and globally scoped layers.

This is a game changer for design systems. Massive shout out to @mrm008 for this one.

Scoped layers: https://t.co/BmqD4BXOxN

Global layers: https://t.co/kvDrEZ6X7d

@astrodotbuild Love the new look 😍
Experiencing quite janky scrolling on android Firefox though 😢

[Georges Haidar @ghaidar0]

After trying utility-first css libs it’s clear to me that vanilla-extract succeeds where the utility classes approach cannot. I’m not going to talk tech Twitter down from one tech or the other. I dont think that’s an interesting pursuit. What I’ll say is that if your goal is to…

@cnakazawa We use an in-house framework https://t.co/JndvfegiHb.
Liking the look of https://t.co/3iE7LMsXpE though.

📣🚀 Capsize release alert!

Minimise webfont-induced layout shift, generating metrics-based font family fallbacks by leveraging the modern CSS `size-adjust` descriptor.

(Video demonstrates layout shift between Arial and custom font. Left is before Capsize, right is after)

[🛶🧁🍨 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨 @michaeltaranto]

🥳 Super excited to finally move out of the prototyping phase for this one!

A new Capsize API for creating metrics-based @​font-face declarations to improve the alignment of font family fallbacks.
