Typekit: Real Fonts for your Website

Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, and Georgia are some of the most common website fonts around. You can find these on company pages, portfolios, forums, and even blogs mainly because these were made for our computer screens and are recognizable and supported by our browsers.

But have you ever wondered if you could use other fonts to spruce up your page? Something that defines you. Showing the world your true love for typography without all the limitations.

Now you can with Typekit, a subscription-based service that lets you use real fonts on the web, giving you a wider range of fonts to choose from.

Oh-Wheezers is now part of this service. Click the image below to see the changes I did for my blog.

As you can see, I didn't want to change the font on some parts of my blog but the Tahoma for my blog posts and the Georgia for my entire sidebar doesn't fit the theme which is why I traded both of them for 'Anivers' because of its narrower look.

And voila! It looks neat *pats himself on the back*

Give Typekit a shot. Don't forget to save your current template on your desktop and be ready for some Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) tweaking :)
