Yu Gothic UI is not suitable for long text. It is _abused_ by some documentation frameworks (e.g. Docusaurus and VitePress) via `system-ui`, but __it is not optimized for long text, which they are designed to serve.__ It is overly optimized for cramming labels or relatively short descriptions into narrow spaces. Hiragana and katakana are too condensed compared to han characters. Noto Sans JP (`sans-serif`) and Yu Gothic provide better reading experience for long text like documentation and blog. `system-ui` is _only_ for web-based _apps_ that want to provide a similar appearance to the OS. For documents and blogs, the order "Apple system font designations > Latin fonts (e.g. Inter or Segoe UI) > `sans-serif`" is the best. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tats-u Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3658#issuecomment-3299209852 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
