I just wanted everybody to understand how important it is to choose the right font when you build your next website. These decisions can have serious repercussions.

Hilarious :joy:. I usually just play it safe with Lato or Oxygen Google Fonts.

I have a plugin for Firefox and Chrome called Fontanello that allows you to select any piece of text on a web page and tell you what font has been used. This is extremely useful at times.

I would also encourage designers to look beyond Google fonts. There is a huge variety out there and often stunning fonts that don’t suffer from the same over use.
