Hi everyone,

We have a team working on a new Student Portal here. They were originally planning to use Open Sans<https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans>, but the uppercase I and lowercase L are too similar so I recommended finding another font. We did a search and came up with Raleway<https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Raleway> – the lowercase L has a curve at the bottom – but I figured I'd reach out here and see what folks recommend. I know that Verdana is the most readable but they are hoping to use a Google Font so I was wondering if anyone had additional recommendations or any concerns regarding Raleway?

Thank you!
