[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Typography is a craft that, being charged with artistic, aesthetic and technical values, deserves more attention than the general public usually gives it. We are so used to seeing text everywhere we hardly ever stop to actually look at those letters, the way they are crafted and arranged within their environment, and, what\u2019s particularly important, how they fit and interact with the graphic context they\u2019re placed in.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Here at Qode Interactive, we believe typography should be approached with equal focus and care as any other design element<\/strong>. It\u2019s not just that the fonts \u201ccarry\u201d the text, they also imbue the design with particular psychological values and convey specific messages, just like images and colors do. Certain typefaces communicate energy and optimism, others give the design an elegant or sophisticated feel, others yet are romantic, and there are, of course, tons of them that are professional and quite rigid. The right choice of typeface<\/a> ensures the consistency of a design and is also extremely important in terms of branding and creating an aesthetic personality.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]While there are so many amazing indie type foundries<\/a> out there creating all sorts of innovative and classic typefaces, designers often opt for free fonts that can be downloaded from the web<\/strong>, available in all the required varieties for web use. There are tons of places these days where a designer can download a font<\/a> but today we want to talk about our (and everyone\u2019s) favorite – Google Fonts.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]There are a lot of reasons why Google Fonts reigns supreme over other free font sources. For one, it\u2019s Google, and you know they take things extremely seriously. With Google Fonts, a designer can be sure the technicalities such as licensing are taken care of<\/strong>, and they are also very easy to add to any website thanks to the Google Fonts API. They can also be mixed and matched to create truly striking Google Fonts combinations<\/a>. In addition, Google Fonts represent a curated collection of typefaces that have been audited, tried and tested before being put up for download.<\/strong> We\u2019re talking about high-quality fonts designed to work great on all sorts of screens, from big to small. The only trouble is that there are so, so many of them to choose from. In fact, there are more than 1,200 font families available for free<\/strong> from this font repository (and the number keeps growing as Google is adding new fonts on a regular basis), so finding your way around them can be a tough chore.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Because of this, and also because we\u2019re really just so enthusiastic about typography, we\u2019ve decided to share a selection of what we believe are the most exciting Google Fonts out there right now:
