Typography Inspiration for the Modern Web · Typewolf

Typography Inspiration for the Modern Web · Typewolf | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

I launched Typewolf as a side project in June of 2013. Working as a designer, I was always frustrated by the lack of good resources for choosing fonts for design projects. Seeing type samples set in “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” isn’t very useful when it comes to web design—seeing how real type performs on actual websites is much more helpful.


I’ve also noticed that other typography sites tend to be written from a type designer’s perspective rather than from the perspective of someone who actually uses type in their day-to-day work. I’ve been a designer for 15 years, so everything on Typewolf is approached from a designer’s perspective....

Jeremiah Shoaf's Typewolf helps designers choose the perfect font combination for their next design project—features web fonts in the wild, font recommendations and learning resources. Excellent resource.

100 Greatest Free Fonts Collection for 2015

100 Greatest Free Fonts Collection for 2015 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Just like previous years, we've undertaken great efforts to look for, categorize, and create font previews of 100 typefaces that you can use to do almost anything.


Regarding their licenses, you should pay attention to each one individually as, while the majority are completely free, some are for personal use only and others are not full families – this means that you’ll only be able to download regular or medium weights or condensed styles for free.


Font Selection


As you know, the selection has been made keeping the typical type classifications in mind to help you browse more efficiently: Serif, Sans Serif, Slab Serif, Rounded, Geometric, Decorative, Display, etc.


Many of these fonts can also be downloaded as a web font kit so that you can use them in your online projects....

Tutorial: Everything You Need to Learn Typography Basics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Why typography? Turns out that while the importance of typography is often overlooked, it plays a critical role in strengthening your brand, creating interest in your product, and highlighting your central message. Knowing that, I decided to sign up for a typography course at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Couldn't hurt to learn how to identify a good font from a bad one, right?


I learned a lot more than that. I realized that paying attention to even the littlest details of type can make all the difference in the world when you're laying out an email, ebook, or image for social media.


This is why I wanted to write this post: to share the most important learnings and resources with my fellow marketers. ...
