Web Design font

Part of the ‘look’ of any website is the fontface that is used, for the title and the body or contents. Visitors do remember the look, the colour and the feel of a site.

For this site, ‘Web Design’, I have already settled on a title font, however for the h1,h2,h3 that is used in the body I have been experimenting with a few different fonts to see which suits the layout and title of this site better.

There are many sites online that offer free fonts. Decide on the category of font that suits the style of your site and save the font to your hard drive. By building up a selection of fonts you can thus experiment on your site.

Choosing a font for Web Design

Fonts do have to be clearly visible and esily read if used mainly in text.
After much consideration I came down to two choices. The Dali font and the sf_scribbled_sans_bold both handwriting fonts. The Dali font I decided that here it was too thin and too feint in certain letters like the ’s’, so not too easy to read, whereas the sf sctribbled sans bold was much more inkeeping with the title font and by being bold and easier to read.

Web Design is a ’sandbox’ – hence the style of font here marries up with the ‘note taking’ scribble/experimental theme.
