Hey, I have some thoughts on the WiP UI.
I have a feeling that the current font looks like from a 2000s school paper rather than a GSG. All PDX games have flavourful relevant fonts and I think that for EU5 time frame a bit 'older' mid-game font would work better.
Now it is very basic, but I think that the game like EU5 deserves to have something special.
I also think that better contrast and saturation would be benesicial too.
What do you think?
Examples are illustrative.

Not sure about the Font but the colours look really good in your version

good to know I'm not the only one

I think the current font is perfect fit for the game, and any sort of stylised font only hampers the overall legibility of the information, especially for a game where fast legibility is paramount for gameplay.

The font they are using on the YouTube channel is fair enough, but I'm yet to see its minuscule form before making my mind. Otherwise, I think the game easily nailed the font.
