Egal ob in einem Buch, einer Zeitschrift oder am Bildschirm -- die Schriftarten von Matthew Carter haben Sie mit Sicherheit schon einmal gesehen. Mit viel Ch...
I started looking at fonts some months ago, and have been writing down a list of better quality typefaces that come free of charge. Some of these are open-source.
Open-source (font OFL, code MIT, docs CC BY) icon font and CSS toolkit. No JavaScript required. Documentation includes accessibility instructions/recommendations.
Die Schriften wurden primär für die Darstellung am Bildschirm entwickelt – von Entwickler für Entwickler. Verfügbar sind die Schnitte Regular, Bold, Oblique und Bold Oblique. Das Font-Projekt ist mittlerweile auf über 1.500 Zeichen gewachsen und kann auf 60 Mitwirkende zurückblicken.
»Hack« ist frei und Open Source. Veränderungen am Font und eine kommerzielle Verwendung sind laut Angaben auf der Entwickler-Website erlaubt.
When text is rendered by a computer, sometimes characters are displayed as “tofu”. They are little boxes to indicate your device doesn’t have a font to display the text.
Google has been developing a font family called Noto, which aims to support all languages with a harmonious look and feel. Noto is Google’s answer to tofu. The name noto is to convey the idea that Google’s goal is to see “no more tofu”. Noto has multiple styles and weights, and freely available to all.
Denn der Markt für Freie Schriften im Internet – so man von Markt sprechen kann – ist ein extrem unübersichtlicher Bauchladen geworden; weit entfernt von dem, was ich damals mit meinen ausführlichen und sachkundigen Portraits angefangen (und aus Zeitmangel bald wieder eingestellt) hatte.
SourceForge presents the Khartiya fonts project. Khartiya fonts is an open source application. SourceForge provides the world's largest selection of Open Source Software. These fonts are based on the Bitstream Charter fonts which were released by Bitstream for X Window System. The primary goal is to add Cyrillic. Besides, the Khartiya fonts include smallcaps, oldstyle figures and other additional glyphs.
Lato is a sanserif typeface family designed in the Summer 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Łukasz Dziedzic (“Lato” means “Summer” in Polish). In December 2010 the Lato family was published under the open-source Open Font License by his foundry tyPoland, with support from Google.
Creating great typeface combinations is an art, not a science. Indeed, the beauty of typography has no borders. While there are no absolute rules to follow, it is crucial that you understand and apply some best practices when combining fonts in a design.
Schriften für wissenschaftliche Arbeiten Fragen nach Schriften für den Einsatz in Bachelor-, Diplom-, Master- oder auch Doktorarbeiten werden hier im Forum in schöner Regelmäßigkeit gestellt. Groß ist der Verdruss über die altbekannte Vorgabe,...
TYPE DESIGN, TYPOGRAPHY, TYPEFACES AND FONTS
These pages offer over 70,000 entries with information on type design, type designers, the history and choice of fonts and typefaces, the mathematics of type design, font software, and typographic matters in general. The subjects are cross-classified by country, language, tag, style, and category. Each item also has a dedicated subpage with additional images not shown on the main pages [click on pink dots like ⦿]. I started this work in 1993.
GFS was founded in 1992 by the late Michael S. Macrakis (1924-2001) as a Non-Profit Organization with the expressed aim of contributing to the research of Greek typography.
After careful consideration, Brill has taken the initiative of designing a typeface. Named “the Brill”, it presents complete coverage of the Latin script with the full range of diacritics and linguistics (IPA) characters used to display any language from any period correctly, and Greek and Cyrillic are also covered.
The NRSI is a department of SIL International, whose task is to provide assistance, research and development for SIL International and its partners to support the use of non-Roman and complex scripts in language development.
The quality of available free fonts has increased dramatically. To be frank, free fonts don’t have a good reputation, and often they are knock-offs of thoroughly crafted, already established typefaces. So is it time for professional designers to take a second look?
if you learn and follow these five typography rules, you will be a better typographer than 95% of professional writers and 70% of professional designers.
The Open Font Library promotes your freedoms as it relates to the use of type. All the fonts that appear on this site come with the freedom to use, study, share and remix them. Browse our catalogue and see what's new.

Fonts In Use is a public archive of typography indexed by typeface, format, and industry. We document and examine graphic design with the goal of improving typographic literacy and appreciation.
Typewolf is a curated design showcase that identifies the fonts used in the design. Our goal is to serve as a one-stop resource for designers seeking typographic inspiration for the modern web.
In this article we’ll go through the most commonly used font-families for websites and how we can do so they look as similar as possible on all machines out there.

We put a lot of effort into the quality of the fonts in the Typekit library. As part of that work, weve been researching the relationship between font math and CSS, and would like to share what weve found. If youve ever wondered why some fonts look smaller than others at the same typeset size, or why the vertical space between lines of text is such a guessing game, this post is for you.

They offer high quality typefaces and deserve to be considered. (tags: webdesign fonts)
