Questrial?
Our home page uses Questrial as the font, which is a really playful typeface. How do people feel about this? I think it's a bit too fun to be our typeface, but I know @jdaudier is a big fan of it.
I'd rather go with something that seems more neutral, even if they are overused. Helvetica/Arial are the obvious choices. The most 'fun' font I'd suggest is Open Sans (which is hardly fun @ all).
Am I alone in this? :alien:
@jmeas Does it look too bubbly on this site too or just on our site? http://getrest.co (the font was inspired / taken from this site)
I think it works fine there, but the mood of that website is, and should be, I think, different from ours. Marionette is by its nature a technical thing (it's a programming library), whereas that's a marketing page for a watch accessory.
Maybe I'm just cray tho.
ha. Ember's imagery is certainly playful, but once you crack open their documentation the technical side of things comes out. And all the while they use the same font.
We could maybe accomplish the same thing by having two different fonts, but that'd be a bit odd, I think.
don't worry... i'll go mess around with the font soon :smile:
note to self: http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Inconsolata http://webfont-test.com/ http://fontpair.co/
as another kicker @instanceofpro pointed out that this font does not have a Cyrillic counter part ... which makes a russian translation tricky....
I'm not going to spend any more time working on the www, so we can close this if we wan'
:+1: I've been using OpenSans - for small details we could later add hand-crafted small font. The fonts outlines for different languages can be fetched asynchronously I believe
