- septerr 14y agoPresented very nicely~ Makes it easy to choose.
- 0x006A 14y agoChrome on Linux seams to have some issues rendering the text. It overlaps in some parts.
- illicium 14y agoNon-Typekit links to the fonts that are available for free elsewhere would be appreciated.
- antidaily 14y agohttp://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/league-gothic http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/league-gothic there's also fontsquirrel and fontspring($) for fonts. the typekit monthly cost turns me off. i prefer free or one-time fees.
- ohgodthecat 14y agoPeople use things like typekit and fontdeck because it is cheaper than buying the actual fonts and they also provide highly available hosting for decent pricing. If you want to serve them yourself and pay a one time fee you actually can do that with most of the typekit fonts but the fee is actually much more substantial than the yearly fee for those services.
- friggeri 14y agoI must say I recently fell in love with Minion Pro and I'm really grateful that it's available on Typekit. What I'm really looking forward to though, in term of web typography, is a broader adoption of the font-feature-settings CSS property.
- JCB_K 14y agoWhat do you mean? @Font-face is completely adopted by browsers.
- slowernet 14y agoS/he means font-feature-settings. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/#font-feature-settings-prop http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/#font-feature-settings-pr... http://caniuse.com/#feat=font-feature http://caniuse.com/#feat=font-feature

- SpaceDragon 14y agoYou think you're in love with Minion Pro? Wait until you see Bell Gothic... Woo, hot mama!
- sergioramos 14y agoPT Sans is beautiful
- xyzzyb 14y agoAbsolutely, that's one of my favorites.
- blt 14y agoDisplay Typeface makes beautiful headlines, and Text Typeface is great for blocks of text!
- bira 14y agoI. Want. More Of These. Where can I find similar resources? Getting to know typography a bit makes surfaces way deeper and I'd like to dig.
- xyzzyb 14y agoFor topical searches like this, I find that pinboard is a great place to start. http://pinboard.in/t:typography/ http://pinboard.in/t:typography/ Tag queries can be limited to popularity as well. http://pinboard.in/popular/t:typography/ http://pinboard.in/popular/t:typography/ Off the top of my head, you'll want to check out: - Google Web Fonts: http://www.google.com/webfonts http://www.google.com/webfonts - Smashing Magazine: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/tag/typography/ http://www.smashingmagazine.com/tag/typography/

- bira 14y agoThanks guys +1
- fuzionmonkey 14y agoThis is a very similar resource but using Google Webfonts: http://hellohappy.org/beautiful-web-type/ http://hellohappy.org/beautiful-web-type/ One of my favorite typography sites: http://fontsinuse.com/ http://fontsinuse.com/
- Silhouette 14y agoAnother page with suggested font combinations: http://typestacks.com/ http://typestacks.com/
- SpaceDragon 14y agoThe mobile version of the site is really swish. Looks great on my iPhone. Nice job.
- _dte 14y agoThanks! I tried hard to make it look great on all the things.
- Arelius 14y agoExcuse me if this is a silly question, but I don't get this: > Let’s face it - Helvetica rocks. But unfortunately, we can’t ensure every user sees it. Is there something special about Helvetica licensing that prevents you from purchasing and embedding just like any other font?
- jianshen 14y agoI think this site is trying to highlight/advertise fonts in the Typekit.com stack. Helvetica's webfont license is exclusive to Monotype Imaging available under a web font license here: http://webfonts.fonts.com/en-US/Project/ChooseFonts?fontQuery=helvetica#keyword%3Dhelvetica%26page%3D1 http://webfonts.fonts.com/en-US/Project/ChooseFonts?fontQuer... So the short answer is no there isn't anything that special.
- davidlumley 14y agoWould love to see some fonts from Font Squirrel and other freely available sources.
