It's available as as google font https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inter or from the source https://rsms.me/inter/ (free and open source)

#10: Animate text links

.underline-links a {position: relative; display: inline-block;}

.underline-links a::before {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 100%;
    bottom: 0;
    background: #ff5d00;
    height: 1px;
    -webkit-transition-property: right;
    transition-property: right;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s;
    transition-duration: 0.2s;
    -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
    transition-timing-function: ease-out;
}

.underline-links a:hover:before {right: 0 !important;}

This should appear as an orange line that quickly grows from left to right.


#11: Default page background color should be "alabaster" (#f7f7f7), while block/boxes that contain content should be white (#fff).


#12: Make date and reading time estimate gray (#999)


#13: Remove bylines everywhere so WOWL is the implied author.


#14: Please kill this header (home page)

#15:Style title

Please use Inter "Black 900" for H1 headlines and titles. Try 72px for desktop and 48px for mobile breakpoint (big is better here).
