8 Amazing Screen Captures of Fonts In Use

I came upon several wonderful websites recently employing my fonts in their designs, I took a few screen captures for examples of my fonts in use. I am very pleased with how the designer's of these sites have implemented my fonts, and of course I'm stoked my font was useful to them and chosen for their design. Take a look at these 8 screen captures of websites where my fonts are in use below.

I hope you enjoyed viewing these websites, share your thoughts below in a comment. Also, do you use one of my fonts in your web design? If so feel free to comment and share your URL as well. I'd be happy to feature your site in a future post.

Fonts In Use Roundup

Seeing examples of how my fonts have been put to use by others is something I truly enjoy, welcome, and even actively seek out myself. I do not know if I would ever tire of seeing the creations of others using my fonts, no matter how "big," or "established," I became! I really don't!

I rounded up some of the excellent creations that others have made using my fonts. From the simplest and smallest of scale creations to the broadest; I am so happy to have provided something the creators of these images found useful, even if they themselves themselves didn't give it too much thought! My font worked for them. Yes! (I'll take all the good karma points I can get!)

Some of the following images I discovered myself, while others were kindly shared with me by their creators. Please note, most images are shown smaller than their full size. To fully appreciate the images featured , click on them or the links to visit the actual sites they are located on. Thanks again to those who have shared their creations with me :)

Tops of the Types September

Right on schedule, September's "Tops of the Types" is here, with ten freshly found fonts, free to be downloaded. Once monthly, for the font-loving public, I compile ten of my personal favorite new or newly found free-font discoveries, and share them in a "Tops of the Types," post on this blog.

This month, some inclusions on the list are not quite new in the traditional sense, but are either new to myself, or they're just old enough that I find them newly fresh. There may also be a few "it," fonts, or popular fonts making every recent font list, but only if they are truly just that good; selections are not based on current popularity.

As usual, the download links will refer you to the source or authors website, rather than being available directly from this blog.

Dubbed "Tuesdays Ten," without further adieu, the "Tops of the Types September" are listed below! I do hope that you find one, if not many of the fonts listed to be useful. Enjoy!
