I'd be curious to have somebody elaborate on his list:

A geometric sans serif

A high quality serif for long text

A workhorse font

A web safe font

A variable font

Under what circumstances do you go for your "variable font"? What's the difference between the "workhorse" and the first two items? (His "workhorse" is a family containing both a serif and a sans serif. Though I have a hard time seeing Roboto Slab as a body font.)

The article is about design for web. Shouldn't they all be web safe fonts?
