Web Friendly Fonts

The topic of web-friendly fonts has come up a few times recently in the presentation and early stages of the web design process. In a perfect design world, every font could be read by every browser and the topic of web safe fonts would not be an issue. But as long as there are different operating systems and different browsers, it cannot be ignored. For this reason, I have put together the following reference list of common web-friendly fonts, that can be checked across multiple browsers and platforms. They are listed here as HTML text at a 24pt and 12pt font size.

Arial Arial

Verdana Verdana

Lucida Grande Lucida Grande

Times New Roman Times New Roman

Century Gothic Century Gothic

Trebuchet Trebuchet

Georgia Georgia

Courier New Courier New

Impact Impact

Helvetica Helvetica

Arial Black Arial Black

Arial Narrow Arial Narrow

Tahoma Tahoma

Hallett Gutter Cover

Hallett Gutter Cover decided it was time for a branding facelift. The quality of their products and services did not match the dated logo and web site they were using.

Upon having a new logo and print materials created, they contacted me to use this new identity system to a design and develop a brand new web site that could be a resource for both home owners and contractors. The goal of the new site was to embody a clean design that was easy to navigate and could be updated by the client using WordPress. Check it out at HallettGutterCover.com
