FONTS AND TYPEFACES! yeet
OH BOYYY I can display my fave fonts here and their respective merits okay, I’ll put these in some other time. I always use the word fonts where I should be saying typefaces, so I will use “typeface” as much as I can from here on out.
Site
- Gelasio by Eben Sorkin is the current font for this website.
- Compatible with Vietnamese, because I would like to learn Vietnamese
- It was previously Lora, but I wanted to change it to something that was a bit less round and with slightly narrower glyphs? characters? idk terms
- Avara using for title headers on this website
- Xanh Mono bc it’s made for vietnamese and I think it looks really nice. Only downfall is that its readability is pretty Bad.
- Considering replacing this with Recursive or M PLUS Code Latin
Pretty typefaces <3
- Avara as prev. mentioned. A font that has no curves, only straight lines
- Cantique Viet support
- Wremena
- Junicode Bold Condensed
- Recursive seems very cool and I’d like to use it… Viet support
Typefaces with a story in my life
- Britannic Bold (in primary school, I said this was my fave font LOL but that’s not the case now)
- Lora (used for my old studyblr HAHA)
- Comic Sans (used to write a series of scathing anonymous notes during high school that I was accused of writing. Maybe I will write about that one day, that wasn’t the best time)
Other typefaces with a story
- Occlusion Grotesque, a typeface being made by a tree.
- 22/22, a collection of 22 fonts being released once at a time for free throughout end of 2022, or donate and receive all fonts released at time of donation.
Where to get fonts (for free)
- Velvetyne has sooooooo many nice ones I would use so many of them!!!
- Open Foundry, fonts I have not used but it’s also a good place
- Google Fonts is gr8 lol super basic but they work great and have a lot of compatibility!! Google owns everything in the world except for the stuff Mark Zuckerberg owns!!!! HAha
