Slightly off topic, but the font used in the slides is Vollkorn:

I figure there are some designers or people interested in typography that might appreciate this information. It was rather easy to eyeball due its strong and distinct serifs at large point sizes, although the stylesheets verify it as well.

Even more off topic: you'll also find that Vollkorn is one of the fonts available for use in the Google Play Books app on Android. If you use Google Play Books, I recommend trying it out. It's a fantastically readable font, especially white-on-black, for late night readers like myself.



It is a great "workhorse" font. Awesome for noticing it. When Tapestry first launched it was the only font offered because of it's readability in most cases. An artist made this Tapestry story breaking it down: https://readtapestry.com/s/C9M36zhFA/


That was a great, and very accurate, description of Vollkorn. The more I use it, the more I fall in love with it. So happy to see it go around. Thanks!
