Raleway is a great font, but I'd suggest not using it for body copy. It's really a display font.

If you want a sans serif body font to pair with it, I think it goes well with Source Sans Pro.

I appreciate the feedback/tip. I am no expert in typography by any means. and I will be interested to A/B the contrasting styles. I have seen it used in body before and I liked it, hence I used it 😀

That font has terrible numbers, 3 to 9 are totally weird [1]. The @ symbol is also mentally taxing on smaller sizes.

Those are "lowercase" or "oldstyle" numbers; they are built to go with mostly-lowercase, running text. I think they look odd with sans serif fonts and anywhere outside of blocks of text, but completely and totally wonderful otherwise.

I love old-style numbers.

Why should letters get all the ascender & descender fun! :P

Agree completely!

I think they are artistically wonderful! It all depends how you perceive things, isn't it

The negative letter spacing is a little jarring imo.
