Today I learned there's a CSS property for styling the first letter of a paragraph, neat. (https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/i/initial-letter/)

--edit: The font used for those initials is called Goudy Initialen: https://www.dafont.com/goudy-initialen.font

Technically "it depends on the browser settings," but the body font Alegreya is served directly by the site, so I think it would be the one used in almost all cases.

The math fonts used in the formulas are just the ones provided by KaTeX, which I think are just TeX's default math fonts.

Already replied :)

The source code of the website is open if you wanna check it out!

That font, and how it's integrated with the math looks amazing. Katex for the math?
