You've Got 16 New Fonts!
They say you can’t have too much of a good thing, and we certainly agree when it comes to fonts. That's why we're so happy to announce that you’ve got 16 new fonts in the platform, for a grand total of almost 250.
Your New Fonts: Some Highlights
Handwriting fonts
You've got six, super trendy fonts featuring cursive letters that mimic handwriting. They're terrific for creating eye-catching titles and tag lines that have a personal touch. Avoid using them for paragraphs or long texts because they can be a bit hard to read.
Bold sans serif fonts
Several of the new fonts are modern, rounded fonts, with no serifs (serifs are the little feet on the ends of the main letter strokes). These fonts tend to be easy to read, and are great for designing longer texts.
Multiple font weights, for even more variety
Several of your new fonts come in multiple font weights, giving you even more design options. For example,
Jost comes with 7 weights,
Gothic A1 with 8 weights, and both
Epilogue and
Spartan have 9 weights apiece.
Even more typographic possibilities with the new text editor
The new text editor gives you additional styling techniques that increase your design options even more. ALL CAPS, character spacing and huge font size options (up to 500px) give you plenty of room for creativity.
A few words more words about fonts
A well-designed website should have no more than three fonts, and these should be chosen with care. Choose clear, readable fonts for long texts, and save the more creative fonts for headlines and short sentences. Think about the look and feel of the site, and choose fonts that compliment.
