2. Proxima Nova Finally Joined The Family
This was one of the biggest changes in TheMaverickSpirit!
We’ve added one of the most popular and beautiful fonts “Proxima Nova” created by Mark Simonson to our website.
Our old fonts were (Open Sans, Roboto & Poppins) and we have replaced them with Proxima Nova.
Our whole focus is to maintain the symmetry of our website’s design, branding, user experience,
Said so! Proxima Nova certainly has increased our website’s user experience as it works really well on high-resolution screens to small mobile devices.
It doesn’t matter how small, big, light, or bold it is, you won’t see a blurry letter in any situation.
We don’t have to say more about it! The Font, says it all! Isn’t it?
