On my side project, Typewolf, it is the number one most featured font. Jardan FurnitureĪpercu is one of the trendiest web fonts of the moment. There are small amounts of Trade Gothic mixed in as well, but perhaps one of the condensed cuts of Univers would have made more sense. Whether you notice the differences or not, it still immediately gives the design a more distinctive feel than the ubiquitous Helvetica.Ĭentury Schoolbook is interspersed throughout, but I would have loved to see it used even more because it makes such a nice combo with Univers.
However, looking more closely you’ll notice many differences in characters like the “a”, “G” and “K”. On first glance, Univers appears to look a lot like Helvetica. Univers is the main typeface used on Strichpunkt Design’s site. The quirky geometric sans-serif Brown is set entirely in uppercase (with slight letterspacing), contrasting nicely with Freight. The large headline type might look a little nicer set with that rather than with the text cut, which is designed for setting body copy. Freight actually includes a special display version, Freight Display, which is meant to look a little more refined at large sizes. The classy Freight Text is the primary typeface used on Leader Bag Co’s website - the perfect typeface to entice parents to buy a $425 diaper bag. However, something more in the “gothic” style like Benton Sans would perhaps fit in a little better than Proxima Nova. The condensed Trade Gothic is a good fit as it mirrors the custom type in the GOOD logo. To me personally the use of Proxima Nova feels a little out of place. Four different typefaces is a lot to use for one site, however, as long as the use is consistent it can still work well. A fourth typeface, Guardian Egyptian, is used as well for pull quotes. A third typeface, Trade Gothic, is used for the nav and small labels. GOOD Magazine uses Proxima Nova and Freight Text as their two primary typefaces - both are typefaces that have seen a huge surge in popularity over the last year or two. I’ve seen similar portfolio designs where the description copy spans the entire width of the project images which can hinder readability with too long of a line length. I also like how on the project detail pages the type is set in two columns. The smaller bits of uppercase Brandon Grotesque have a slight amount of letterspacing added which is always a nice touch when setting uppercase, especially at smaller sizes. Joel’s site uses the ever-popular Brandon Grotesque paired with the slab-serif Adelle. I’ll write about the typographic details that make the designs great and I’ll also mention some things I think could make the type on the sites even better. In this post I’m going to analyze 10 websites that are primarily driven by typography. Good typography is all about perfecting the small details.
