Have you heard about Google Fonts? This is a project Google started many years ago with the laudable goal of making the web more beautiful by giving web designers more font options. I am in the middle of designing a horror author website at the moment, and this morning I was pulling together a list of font choices to offer my client when I decided to take a couple minutes and tip you to my source and the fonts I am thinking about using. Yes, they are cool, but I can’t use most of them for web design work or in blog and social media graphics, so they don’t do me much good. This is why the 300+ cool fonts identified by Derek Murphy aren’t really that useful to me. Also, one downside of using a paid font on your site is that most people won’t have a license and can’t see the cool fontwork. I am fine with paying for font licenses, but I also use Canva to make most of my web graphics, and they charge you for premium fonts or to upload your own fonts. Also, if you are careful when choosing the font for the site title or author name, you can give visitors subtle clues about the genre.Īt the same time, you probably want the font to be free to use under a Creative Commons license. Like book covers, choosing the right font for your website or your social media graphic can send a message and elicit an emotional response (this makes it more likely to be noticed, and re-shared!).
