Design and presentation matters a lot to me (and, research shows its true for many people). Aesthetics of interface can attract, retain or put-off. So, here are my inputs: Currently the website uses _Roboto_ font, weight=400 For me its appearing as bold and putting pressure on eyes. I tried changing the font-weight to 300 and 500 it looked more readable. So I suggest that default font weight be made either 300 (thin) or 500 (reasonably thick). _Roboto_ font, weight=400 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-06-21%2012-47-20](https://metastudio.org/uploads/default/original/1X/d39c5a5b638e72a6883c9af191b8c767bbec1112.png) _Roboto_ font, weight=300 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-06-21%2012-47-59](https://metastudio.org/uploads/default/original/1X/06b98931bd1a0dfe948354c867cc2254e4193d37.png) _Roboto_ font, weight=500 ![Screenshot%20from%202019-06-21%2012-50-22](https://metastudio.org/uploads/default/original/1X/08c5332dc9bddd7450243c83d34ce515002866a5.png) ---

Can we have two screenshots, one with 300 and one less than 300 to know which one looks better. Screenshots may be taken on both mobiles as well as desktop. ---
