http://www.google.com/fonts#Analytics:total http://www.google.com/fonts#Analytics:total . 5th most popular font at the moment ( 2,059,357,755 views for Lato in the last 7 days and 64+ billion in the past year).
And that doesn't even include the Typekit deployments (or locally hosted ones).
- currysausage 12y ago> 5th most popular font at the moment So, Google Web Fonts now is the benchmark for professional screen typography? None of the sites that I visit on a regular basis use Google Web Fonts. The only one using any webfont for body text is The Guardian, which uses an excellent custom font designed by Christian Schwartz and Paul Barnes.
- nacs 12y ago> So, Google Web Fonts now is the benchmark for professional screen typography? It's certainly a better benchmark than "none of the sites that I visit on a regular basis"... And if hard numbers like 64 billion+ views per year don't convince you then I won't bother.
- emergentcypher 12y agoIt's certainly a more objective measure than what you've offered.
- Igglyboo 12y agoYea because "sites you visit on a regular basis" is a wayyy better, and more objective metric. /s
