Typography in Web Design

One of the biggest ammature mistakes web designers make is using terrible typography on their websites (I RARELY ever use Arial...). Yes, you are restricted to use web-safe fonts only, but you'd be surprised how many fonts that actually entitles. Go to googlefonts.com.

Size of fonts is another important design detail of websites. You must understand hierarchy in your font sizes.

Lastly, color of font is important too. Lighter font comes across much cleaner than dark. Rarely use black #000000 as your font color.

Here are some examples of Dentist website I have designed lately.

All responsive as well.

Need to get your eyes checked?

Need to get your eyes checked? Maybe you need glasses? I made this in college. Anything can become type. I love typography and the interesting ways you can create letters. This was all made from one pair of my glasses. And I didn't break them.

Letters on Canvas





Buy a canvas. Put letter stickers on it. Paint over the whole thing. Peel off stickers.
Looks really neat. A fun/cheap way to add typography to a room!

Body Type - literally



















I found this today on http://www.typotheque.com/fonts/body_type I thought this was funny.  Anything can be type.  As long as it communicates a message.
