Butterick's Pratical Typography VS Colemak Mod-DH

Thank you! I must have picked up the idea from from Matthew Butterick’s “Practical Typography”, but with the symbol drawn rather than as the degrees character, to spare screen reader users from hearing that constantly. https://practicaltypography.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago
