Web Typography – 21 Beautiful Examples of Typography in Web Design

Today’s post features inspiring examples of web typography from a number of sources, from design agencies to freelancers to a hot dog shop. Modern browsers are becoming more capable of rendering type. Attention to the setting and arrangement of type on the digital page is a necessity for any designer. Granted some of the examples below still rely on images of text rather than browser-rendered type. However, a number of the examples showcase creative uses of type relying only on CSS, HTML & Javascript. Gone are the days of flashing hard to read text. Web typography is becoming an art form in and of itself. As the technical barriers to implementing beautiful type on a website diminish, we are seeing far more creative uses of type in ways that would not have been possible only a few years ago. Thank goodness because if we never see another neon green Comic Sans headline we’ll be thrilled.

Good typography lives! I was so excited to go to the actual sites to explore these great examples. Sadly, in some instances, the typos in the body text stole the glow. Maybe attention to proofreading will become a valued asset sometime soon. Just sayin’!

Aaah, the trend waggon.

How about some examples of beautiful type on heavy-content pages? That’s where I see tons of these kids today choke up. They can do their hip little splash screen with their “HI, I’M ZACHARY AND I MAKE SLAMMIN’ WEB SITES AND BLUEBERRY PIE!” attractively, with all their little trendy embellishments like scrolls and bookmarks, and designs that harken back to camp in the Northwest in the early 1970′s or whatever, but if you sat them down in front of a client, like.. .i dunno… IBM, or Charles Schwab, where there’s potentially tons of technical, non-cute, super-dry content – and pages of it at that where cute isn’t allowed – they fall flat and can’t pull it off. That’s what kills me about the incestuous, navel-gazing droves in the design community today: too many of them are one-trick ponies. Give them a job like doing newsprint layouts, corporate social responsibility reports, or archive/library web sites, or anything that isn’t just a tiny bit of content on a page, and they fall flat. One day these kids will wake up and find themselves irrelevant.

But, not to sound ungrateful or anything… for what they are and the zone that they sit in, they definitely are attractive examples, and there’s a market out there for this stuff.

  I suppose a post on good clean but “boring” design is called for. I definitely appreciate a cleanly laid out page sans any embellishment but proper use of white-space.
