WaniKani Fonts Update

Written by Jen·February 13, 2024

We have just released a change to our font handling across WaniKani. Previously, we used Google Fonts to deliver fonts to your browser, however there are privacy concerns when it comes to loading fonts from Google so we have taken the step to deliver the fonts from our own WaniKani servers. This is a known GDPR issue that stems from court rulings in Europe.

As part of this change we consolidated our font stack to use Noto Sans for all text on WaniKani which will provide a more consistent experience for all learners.
