Font Trends In Web Design

Over the last few years we have started to see some interesting developments in how fonts are being used on todays websites.

For years web designers have been using primarily sans serif fonts because they tend to be easier to read on a computer screen. With increased monitor resolution this is no longer the case, and some serifed fonts are now beginning to be used more frequently by web designers in the body of the text . Serifed fonts are not just for headings anymore.

Probably the biggest change when it comes to fonts is big fonts. More and more sites are using large fonts to help call attention to important information on the site. One example of a site HIT Web Design has done using this large font trend is http://pumpkinpetals.com.

It is a well known fact that visitors will spend very little time on a site looking for what they want and using a large font that will catch a customers eye to convey an important message can help them find the information they are looking for and keep them on your site. Use large fonts effectively by using them sparingly and keep your message short and to the point.
