Maybe it is everything in Japanese text that looks beautiful or perhaps Fontworks has conceived the most brilliant type sample graphics for their FOT-UDKakugo Large Pr6N page that it makes the dullest font details page on Adobe Font look so good!
[Typographically Speaking] Larish Neue @ The Daily Dot
Another blog series I'm getting started within this post, this one is called Typographically Speaking. The idea is simply to catalogue some real examples of a type in use on a website. Normally when you are starting out with a new project, type choices can be very daunting and it's very difficult to fully visualise how your choices will actually look like in the wild, so collecting examples where some selected typography seems to work well can hopefully be a good starting point.
There is, of course, Fonts in Use and Type Sample but on a personal level, I want to have it closer to base :)
On this first edition, I like the use of Larish Neue rendered on the headlines @ The Daily Dot
FR Kraken Slab →
Frank Fonts' FR Kraken Slab is a beautiful expression that captures the spirit of the sea and folklore with its crafty tentacles and folded edges.
The Inter typeface family →
Inter is a beautiful dynamic type designed for screen by this talented gentleman. It's kinda like San Francisco without all the hype.
Funkis Font →
Funkis is a customisable geometric san serif typeface originally designed in 2015 by Göran Söderström and Fredrik Gruber and published by Letters from Sweden. It has a great little website accompanying the typeface and some really slick simple in-use design examples.
