Find the Right Font

May 15th, 2009 No comments


When you’re having trouble deciding on the best typeface or combination of typefaces for a particular project, try these sources:

* The Type Library section of the Adobe Web site lets you search for fonts by use.

* Each typeface on the Font Bureau Web site includes a list of comparable and compatible fonts.

* Independent blogs such as Typophile are populated with type-savvy folks who will give advice on font usage, identify orphaned fonts, and steer you toward little-known fonts that may have escaped your attention.

* Blogs associated with type foundries that don’t just promote their own products are great resources, as well. For example, a wonderful post on FontFeed, the blog affiliated with FontShop, explored alternatives to Helvetica with helpful background about the suggested typefaces and detailed characteristics that distinguish them from Helvetica.
