INSIDE THE US GOVERNMENT'S BRILLIANTLY BORING WEBSITES

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The US government created a unified web design system (USWDS) and a custom typeface (Public Sans) to improve the accessibility and functionality of federal websites. The USWDS, developed by the US Digital Service, provides guidelines and components for consistent design. This initiative was launched in response to the fragmented and inconsistent design of earlier government websites, which often posed a problem for public access to essential services.
