Top notch article thanks for posting. Thanks for pointing out those fonts, I feel like finding good fonts is always a struggle for me. Anyone have any other suggestions like these?
- danenania 12y agoOne way is getting a typekit subscription and checking out their font lists [1]. Aside from providing many excellent fonts, there are good descriptions of mood properties and historical context that can really help to choose something appropriate. 1 - https://typekit.com/lists https://typekit.com/lists
- mark-r 12y agoWhenever I find a font on a page that looks interesting, I highlight it and go to Chrome's Inspect element Computed tab to get the font name. As the blog says, steal like an artist.
- interfacesketch 12y agoAnyone have any other suggestions like these? Source Sans Pro is Adobe's first open source typeface and was designed by Paul D Hunt. It was specifically designed for user interfaces, and is available in multiple weights. I think the regular weight also works well for body text. https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayFontPackage&code=1959 https://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=... The font is also available on Google fonts Shameless plug: I use Source Sans Pro on my website if you want to see an example of what it looks like for body text and headlines :-) http://www.interfacesketch.com/ http://www.interfacesketch.com/
