When it is a good design, the reader has to feel comfortable because the letter is both banal and beautiful.

Adrian Frutiger

You are a typographer. If you type anything on a computer, you have committed an act of typography. You have set letterforms that will aid in the communication of a written message. You may not get ink on your thumbs, or have to stress out about kerning, leading, and tracking, but you have set type. Everyone is a typographer now, but how good is up to you.

Typography is the practice of arranging type within a design. This includes not only the selection of a typeface, but also the size, spacing, color, and styles of type. Typography also deals with the design of type on the page and its interaction with other elements such as photos, illustrations, and interface. The treatment of the text can be every bit as important to the message as the actual words themselves.

WHAT IS GOOD TYPOGRAPHY?

DO NOT DESIGN BY DEFAULT

Typography is the architecture that supports all visual communications, from print to wayfinding, and, of course, the Web. Designers create type systems to build a visual hierarchy, to create the order and flow needed to guide users through their experience. These elements can include headlines, body copy, subheads, navigation, sidebars and more. You should always develop your own design voice, rather than using prebuilt templates.

GIVE YOUR TEXT A VOICE

Developing your sites typographical voice will be similar to casting a chorus: youll want tenors, bass, sopranos, and baritones. Each of these has a unique timbre and all blend together to make wonderful music. Your type selections achieve the same goal. The weight and style of your headlines can make them rich and attention grabbing, while a simple geometric typeface for your body copy can be quite subtle. Use the cards on this page to visualize what voice a typeface can bring to your design.

Font selection is more than a cosmetic choice, it is a push and pull of harmonies and tensions that create a robust page, one that pulls the reader into your narrative. Similar to how a wine buff looks for depth of flavor, a reader wants to have their taste buds tickled. This can be achieved in many ways. A minimalist style, one that follows the KISS theory (Keep it Simple, Stupid) is safe; a classical look is dignified; a contemporary font can be dynamic.

The project will more than likely help you decide which direction to take, and the overall tone of graphics should suit the subject. Please consider the following tips on creating your font palette to ensure quick download times and overall aesthetics.

When you only had 10 fonts choosing one from the list was easy Now that you - photo 10

When you only had 10 fonts, choosing one from the list was easy. Now that you have dozens of Web-safe fonts, and can link to any font that is licensed for Web downloading, your horizons are much broader. This new power, though, comes with the responsibility of having to be thoughtful in your choices. The exact type you choose should depend on several factors.

ESTABLISH A TYPOGRAPHIC VOICE

Choose your typeface to reflect the mood and demeanor of the message your Web site is meant to reflect. If the site is meant to be upbeat and happy, choose fonts with a playful look to them. If the site is meant to be professional and serious, choose clean simple fonts.

I once worked with a writer who published a daily advice column. She insisted, despite my protests, to publish her column in Comic-sans, a font that is generally ridiculed by typographers. However, I quickly realized that this font spoke to her audience in a relaxed informal tone that no other available font could have achieved. She was actually using the available typeface to better communicate her message.
