I never studied any of this in an academic or even informal setting, I just picked it up as I went along and developed my own voice with fonts, web site design, etc. must match the SVG background - I like heavily modified heropatterns backgrounds for sites, as they add a very professional flare to the site without being gimmicky, hard to maintain or distracting and thus I try to make sure the font somewhat contrasts with the image chosen in a way approaching artfully without breaking out the dry wine and cheese pairings to discuss how shapes make the audience experience the artists emotions about it, as I too dislike those types of charlatans. body - always prefer a nice sans font that is easy to read at a variety of sizes (which I will check manually if in doubt) that is not as blocky as the title font and fits within the same stylistic domain if you will. Lot of times it ends up being a font with a name ending in "One", those usually do the trick title fonts - I like making the text appear 3D using the color palette's constrast and the css property text-shadow so I try for bold, big-lettered sans or mono fonts here. Instead I go with Google Fonts or will include in the source code some specific font if absolutely necessary and with the right license (of course) but my general means of picking fonts is something like: None of that has anything to do with how I end up picking fonts for public facing websites or any work I attach my name too.

Especially SFMono Nerd Font, which renders all the icon goodness I want for my terminal life on Linux.Īs far as Google fonts, I guess I tend to like fonts rendering the Latin character set as a secondary concern, like: I find Roboto and especially any Noto font painful to look at, seriously I use Linux and Android I am beyond sick of those fonts, so instead I tend to look to the SF family for more readable, less stylized fonts. etc etc etc (I have like 4k fonts that I browse with a nifty script that renders an HTML page showing a sample of each, not trying to burn through that whole list but you get the picture) Join our Discord server Design Subreddits LIST Please report any posts which break these rules, to maintain the quality of the subreddit.
