Web Typography Tools

Posted by on May 3, 2010 in Typography | No Comments

Every now and again you need a little help with getting the right font for a website. The following online tools have been a help to me one way or another in getting the right look. The great thing about some of these tools, they also generate the css code for you.

Typechart
lets you flip through, preview and compare web typography while retrieving the CSS.

Flipping Typical
A way to explore the popular typefaces you have on your computer.

CSS Type Set
Enter your text that you want to style, choose your style and get the css code.

PXtoEM
PX to EM conversion made simple. This site is helpful, but I’m more of a pixel font size guy.

Type Tester
The Typetester is an online application for comparison of the fonts for the screen. Its primary role is to make web designer’s life easier. As the new fonts are bundled into operating systems, the list of the common fonts will be updated.

Although, my list doesn’t compare with other lists out there, but they are tools I actually use.

Do you have any other tools you use, let me know.
