Font Replacement

Why we need it

Over the years the typography options we have available to us have changed. Our default typography options are defined by a users computer's availability of the fonts we try to use. This list of web safe fonts is continually changing as operating systems update. A few of the most common web safe fonts include: Arial, Verdana, Times (or Times New Roman), Trebuchet MS and Courier.

Google Fonts

Using Google Fonts to Get More Out of Our Design

In recent years, Google fonts has become one of the most accessible and easy to use options to customize your web typography options. Google allows you to easily select fonts and implement them in your web pages. Google hosts the fonts, however, they do enable designers to download fonts free from Google's font site. Google fonts is currently the most common and easiest to use font replacement option for designers creating web sites. It is estimated that more than 50% of web sites today use Google fonts for typography.
