Spencerian script is almost illegible to me, but for people who read it ever day it&amp;#x27;s no problem. The same is true of blackletter scripts. No matter how ugly the font, people can adapt to it, and once they&amp;#x27;ve adapted they&amp;#x27;ll find it preferable.&lt;p&gt;If you really care about prioritizing the text, you should leave the typography to the client. I do not care about your brand. I do not care about your fancy typography tricks. I override all your font choices because I want every website to look identical. This means I never have to spend any unnecessary mental effort interpreting your typography. If you&amp;#x27;re serious about typography you should respect your user&amp;#x27;s choices and leave it to the default.</text></comment>
