Looks like they are loosing the bespoke Go fonts (https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts) and going with Work Sans and Roboto. I understand the reasoning.

Personally, I have a big soft spot in my heart for the go fonts . Whenever I feel like coding like it's 1979 again, I load them up in my editor and pretend I'm looking at well written documentation from my childhood.

[edit: Yay, Go fonts remain for source code display!]

I hadn't seen these yet. Thanks for linking.

I was a little late for 1979, but I still enjoy the aesthetic.

edit: I've been using Iosevka for a while now— which I guess a mildly similar feel, but narrower.

Just checking, but did you see page 19?

Heh. I stopped at page 18 of the new styleguide at the body font section . So the Go font remains the official font for the display of source code. Yay!!
