I have been trialing with the [Google Noto](https://www.google.com/get/noto/) fonts. The Noto Sans is quite pleasant for longer posts, as it has a bit more horizontal spacing/width. I looks fantastic on deviced with high DPI, such as modern mobile phones and larger devices with a very high resolution.

The width of Noto Sans may cause some issues with the UI of Discourse, such as the burger menu. The Noto font package includes a **Noto Sans UI** version of the font, with a smaller horizontal footprint. This makes me wonder how to customize Discourse so that:

- The posts are using font Noto Sans
- All of the UI are in Noto Sans UI

This could be visually nice, or what say you?
