Body 16px/400 — A conveyor belt fails at its weakest point, and on a well-specified belt that point is the joint. This is the article and paragraph voice of the site.

UI strong 13.5px/600 — sidebar links, emphasised values.
Weights 400/500 · mostly UPPERCASE + letterspaced · used for: eyebrow labels, table data, spec figures, footnotes, status lines, label artwork data. Its slab-ish serifs + all-caps + small sizes are the likely readability complaint — specimens below at exact site sizes.

Each block shows: eyebrow label · table data row · small footnote · result figures — exactly as the site uses them today.
A — JetBrains Mono · Monospace built for 10–13px screens. Tall x-height, open shapes, zero slab feet. Drop-in: keeps perfect digit/column alignment and the machine character. MY RECOMMENDATION.

C — Space Grotesk · NOT monospace — a technical grotesque. The most eye-friendly by far; keeps a machined feel via its squared shapes. Digits stay aligned in our tables (grid does alignment, not the font).

Remedies on request, in order of gentleness: (a) raise the floor — footnotes 9.5→11px, table data 10.5→12px; (b) reduce letterspacing on dense data; (c) drop uppercase for long footnotes; (d) swap the data font entirely. Tell me which specimen above hurts and I'll tune exactly that style sitewide.
