niceee
I liked this Scott Lynch Website Font very much. it is quite impressive and uncommon….thanks…
This is a very popular and widely used Typeface and it is often criticized for being overused.
It’s because the font is very nice looking and simple that it is very popular and overused as you said Satya.
The font looks good for headers and in news galleries.
