Compare different typography

Having clear fonts with the right spacing between lines and words is essential for making your blog user friendly. There is a great online tool for dealing with typography issues called Typetester. On the website you will be able to play with fonts, sizes, alignments and so on. There are three different columns where you can compare the results and choose the best design.

Very nice. The only thing they appear to be missing is line-spacing.

It is included, but its called “Leading”.

That’s an awesome tool. Fonts have always been one of the harder things, without “borrowing” code from another source.

That’s an amazing tool.

Typography is 90% of web design.

I’ve been using this with clients for a little while. It really helps clarify how text will look on the site.

Of course, good CSS practices can do the same thing.
