After using Quicksand as my de facto font for my website, web tools, DragonDocs, DragonSlides and my software, it's finally time for a change. I'm now moving everything to Instrument Sands. DASH still hasn't switched to the new font, but I do intend on making it the default font for DASH.
I remember the day I decided to switch to Quicksand very well. My first project to use it was DASH in 2019. I replaced Source Sans Pro on my website after using it extensively for digital literacy materials at my previous school. This experience led me to choose it as my default font for all my projects. Quicksand is still on my website, and I'm hesitant to remove it entirely, so we'll see what happens.
Whilst this may not be as sad for some of you readers, for me, this is a sad day as it's like the end of an era for me in terms of design.
