Fonts: Aller, Serif Beta, Lacuna
[Update: edited link to Aller font.]
So, there’s a new field I, being a rather techy nerd, am so far not very knowledgable at all in: typography.
That being said, I recently tried to find some fonts to nicen up my blog a bit. After a bit of searching, I happened upon these two fonts:
- Aller
- Aller is a free font presented by the Danmarks Medie– og JournalisthØjskoles. I have used it for my new theme at the blog.
- Serif Beta
- Serif Beta is a sort of workprint release of a font being developed by Christian Robertson. I use it to render the title of the blog.
- Lacuna
- This is a font designed by Peter Hoffman. It has no integrated bold typeset, but the regular font has a nice quirk to it.
Of course, every font needs sample pictures, so peruse these, if you will — but don’t be scared because WordPress does some fugly scaling:
towo has been writing stuff on the Internet on and off for years. He also thinks that author blurbs are silly.
