While custom control panels and plugins are great, one of the strongest points of SuperSkeleton is it’s meticulous attention to details in the area of typography. Every major type element has been addressed; You can even change both the Title Fonts and Body Fonts with the flip of a switch in the dashboard; Heck, you can even disable the title-font-replacement if you feeling like straight forward web-fonts instead of the flashy new stuff.
