14 Top Free Serif Fonts with Multiple Weights By Douglas Bonneville on April 15, 2013 If you have a growing collection of usable free sans-serif fonts, you are going to have to have some free serif fonts to go with them! Our recent article on the most popular free sans-serif fonts outlined four criteria we came up with to navigate the morass of free fonts readily available on the web.

And remember, all that’s left after getting a collection of the best free sans serif and the best free serif fonts is how to combine them! NOTE: click images to enlarge Alegreya Download page:

5 of the Best CSS3 Font Tools Fonts have made the most dramatic visual impact on the web since graphic support was added to browsers. A few years ago, it would be impossible to find a website using anything other than Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman or Georgia (or, heaven forbid, Comic Sans). While there’s nothing wrong with standard font stacks, they can become a little monotonous. Internet Explorer has supported web fonts for more than a decade but it’s taken competing browsers a little longer to catch up. Licensing is still an issue — you can’t use any commercial font — but you should be able to find one which permits web usage or is similar to your corporate style. However, with great choice comes great responsibility. 1. If you’ve not visited Google Web Fonts, where have you been? You can download any font file but the tool also allows developers to import via an HTML link tag, CSS @import declaration or JavaScript snippet. Did I mention that it’s all free? 2. Still not satisfied? 3. 4. 5.
Pusteblumen-Beutel Gestern habe ich einen Beutel fertiggestellt, der mir schon lange am Herzen lag. Den Stoff dafür habe ich vor einiger Zeit mit Pflanzen gefärbt, daher ist er mir besonders wertvoll. Um nicht zu sehr von dem schönen natürlichen Effekt abzulenken, habe ich mir überlegt einen schlichten Beutel daraus zu nähen. Da solche Beutel einfach zu machen sind und jeder sie gebrauchen kann, habe ich eine möglichst detaillierte Anleitung für euch geschrieben, die auch jemand bewältigen kann, der vielleicht noch nie genäht hat. Schwierigkeit: Leicht Zeitaufwand: 1h (ohne Schablone) Du brauchst: ca.1/2m festen Baumwollstoff ca. 10x10cm hellen Baumwollstoff farblich passendes Garn Stoffmalfarbe in Schwarz 1 A4 Blatt Freezer Paper (mit Wachs beschichtetes Papier zum Aufbügeln, es geht auch normales Papier aber ich empfehle Freezer Paper) ein kleines Stück Schwamm eine Schneidefeder zum Schneiden der Schablone Nähmaschine, Schere, Stecknadeln und Bügeleisen Vorbereitung: 2mal 52x8cm für die Träger Nur Mut!
Responsive Font Size with CSS Making your font-size respond to viewport or container size should be a must to complete your responsive designs. Having a fixed font-size accross devices is not always a good idea. The key point is to get a readable font size and a comfortable line length in most viewports. CSS viewport units and media queries provide the means to implement a responsive font size. Font Size and Line Length There are lots of different views on which is the best pixel font size, or which is the minimum readable size. There's much more to font sizing than it appears. As a general rule, use the largest font-size that doesn't look disproportionate and results in lines with 20 words or less (all words count). Getting the same physical font size and the same number of words per line in all devices would happen only in a world with a single universal screen size (imagine it!). Line Height A third measurement to take into account is line height or line spacing. CSS Viewport Units The Problem with Viewport Units

Will Google Fonts Ever Be Shut Down? → Typewolf October 28, 2014 The Google Fonts service has been immensely popular with web designers ever since it first launched in May of 2010. And for good reason. There are no accounts to sign up for and no monthly fees like there are with other web font services. Just add a single line of code to your website and you have at your disposal a huge selection of free fonts that display beautifully on screen. But all of this begs the question: why is Google in the fonts game? Will Google Fonts end up in the Google Graveyard? What’s in it for Google? It can’t be cheap to serve fonts on this kind of scale. 2.6 trillion pageviews and counting. I’ve heard people compare Google Fonts to other Google products such as YouTube and Google Maps — the cost of serving fonts is nothing compared to the cost of serving large image and video files to hundreds of millions of people. And it’s not just the server costs. Why Did Google Start Google Fonts? Reason # 1: Using Text Instead of Images Improves Search Learn More →

A stealthy resurgence happening in the design world—a rebellion against the cold, sleek, digital environment in which we designers spend most of our time. Hand lettering is not-so-quietly making a colossal comeback, exploding into the forefront of design. It no longer has to hide on the B-side or apologize for looking hand lettered. The beauty of hand lettering is its flexibility and adaptability. Hand lettering involves taking a completely different approach to the use of text in design, moving away from the skills used for traditional typography. Let’s celebrate this illustrative and creative expression of letters by looking at a six designers who have turned hand lettering into an art. A graduate of Tyler School of Art, Mary Kate has made a career out of sweet and fanciful lettering projects. All images ©Mary Kate McDevitt
