The Ugly Past

So how can we attract the attention of the viewers by using the same fonts that the majority of sites use?

Not too long ago the Internet was an ugly place. People had the choice of a handful of system fonts to use, and it made every website look kind of the same. There was no personality, warmth, or identity. Even if you were an artist who wanted to display their work, your website looked awful. Your website used the same Times/Arial combo as million others .

A New Hope

Gratefully, a new era of typography on the web has arrived, leaving behind an ugly past filled with style-cramping restrictions. Until recently, web des-igners were limited to using only a few web-safe fonts that were preinstalled in all major operating systems. But a new system of web fonts is now widely employed by designers, using a technique that downloads remote fonts with a CSS rule called @font-face.

With the addition of web fonts,now every site can have a unique typeface that will accuretely depict their ideas,beliefs and purpose.

With that in mind, this site was created with the purpose of displaying the po-wer of typography on the web so that the design world will fully adopt web fo-nts for their benefit and, of course, the users.

This site is a pure type construct with minimum CSS so that you can see the full effect typography can have on the design and usability of a site.
