Typography makes your work stand-out
– this is as sad as beauty defines character, but that is true in
most cases. Making your website/blog functional and full of useful
content is important, but also important is how professional, funny,
good-looking the content is. The content should also be easy to read
on multiple devices with varying real-estate.
Typecast
does all this and more. Typecast provides thousands of fonts that can
be used across your website or just for sections that need
highlighting.
Since the real power of fonts is
only visible in sentences and paragraphs, Typecast also has options
to type in the required content and see how beautiful or ugly your
content looks in 1,2 or 3 columns with an option to change line
heights, text size, text color and background. You can also edit the
CSS and see the results instantly.
After doing all this hard work it is
easy to put this to work. You can:
- Get code that can be directly embedded in your website
- Save CSS and HTML
- Export as a graphic file (PNG)
- Publish a style guide with the chosen colors, size, spacing
The only sad thing – this comes at
a cost, starts at $14.50/month for personal plans. You can get a 15
day trial by just providing your email id (no confirmation email!).
If you are not in a position to
spend hard cash, don’t get disappointed yet. Head towards Google
Fonts.
There are hundreds of web fonts that
are free to use, and you by how much the fonts impact page load
times. One of the other good things about this - you can click on
“Popout” window for any of the fonts, and get to try how they
look in Typecast.
