The problem is, you are talking about art. And art is in the eye of the beholder. There are plenty of people who will disagree with your opinion and chosen fonts. I like all the fonts you used but don't like how they're used in your example.
So this becomes similar to a color palette site where someone shows a bunch of colors that you purportedly are able to use and are told they work well together. Until you use them together on your site and find them to be garish/boring/loud/goofy/amateurish/etc.
Of course, this is why we have typographers and graphic artists.
btw, if you go to real typographer web sites, you'll often read some groaning about Google fonts and you'll see that few, if any, use them for all the reasons they groan about them.
- lucagez 8y agoI understand your point of view. However I am mainly a web developer but I often find myself doing also the design side of projects by necessity. So this is only a basic attempt to learn how to make things look a little bit prettier. BTW thank you for your feedback (:
- jalfresi 8y ago"The problem is, you are talking about art. And art is in the eye of the beholder." Typography is Graphic Design, not art. The goal is usually to impart knowledge to the viewer. A legible message objectively aids in this. However, typography can tap the viewers knowledge for additional tone, for example, choosing era appropriate typefaces for 100 year old stories. If you are trying impart an emotion, then post-modernist graphic design may eschew legibility for emotive punch, in which I would agree that it is very much a subjective response, however, I would still argue that it is design, not art.
