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:
