Ah yes, good points. I will add a colour palette to that post now.

@Somyrion, we are proceeding with serif fonts, yes?

@Amerion, I did not think you the kind of toddler to split an infinitive. I don't know what to think, now.

The serif fonts were just a decision for my potential submission, not a rule that other entrants need follow I think Roavin meant that whatever fonts an entry uses must be named and freely accessible in that submission.

I will note that that colour palette is slightly out of date. The accurate "TSP blue" colour is in fact #019aed, not #1089e6. It should be okay, though, as long as it's just a suggestion.
