Chicago, USA
“Chicago, Chicago – that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago – I will show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down.”
But, this is about Themes and Typography. The winter theme has been abandoned and a new theme is showing, now about typography.
Typography in web design plays an integral part in setting the tone, theme, and message of the website.
Grids
Achieving Visual Structure and Consistency
Grids bring visual struture and balance to site design. They are useful for organizing and presenting information. They can enhance the user experience by creating predictable patterns for users to follow. They created ordered hierarchies, proportional relationships, and clear visual paths for the eye to travel.
Fonts
Web Sate fonts, Linked fonts, and font embedding
Typography on the Web consists of very few fonts, basically this includes Arial, Times, Georgia, Verdana, and Trebuchet MS. Yet there are over 100,000 available computer fonts. One of the most exciting features of CSS3 is the @font-face rule. The @font-face fule is a way of linking to fonts on your server just as you can link to images.
Designs
Readability, Legibility, and Scannability
The practice of typography is a centuries old practice that uses these techniques. Readability is how easy words, phrases, and blocks of text can be read. Legibility is a measure of how easy it is to distinguish one letter from another in a typeface. Scannability is how your page guides the eye of the reader to help them scan and find the content they are looking for.
