A HIGHER QUALITY WEB FONT


Most typefaces are designed for print use, giving print designers the freedom to choose from thousands of font options. This is a privilege not yet available to web developers, as many of these fonts read poorly on-screen.

FONTSLIVE FONTS MEET HIGH STANDARDS

Our type designers reviewed hundreds of fonts, testing for on-screen legibility and readability to find the fonts that met our demanding quality standards. Only the fonts that rendered well on-screen across all browsers on both Windows and Mac OS X were approved for FontsLive.

The FontsLive Difference

High Quality fonts

The FontsLive Quality Experts

The FontsLive designers are well-versed in the challenges of designing fonts that provide optimal legibility and readability on screen. We helped create User Interface fonts found in Windows, Android, Palm Web OS and Xbox 360. Tom Rickner, head of our font engineering team, is the leading expert on "hinting," a process that involves tuning TrueType fonts for on-screen legibility. This allows us to create fonts that have superior display with attributes like: consistent spacing, alignment, weight and readability. 

Get the Most Out of Your Font

For website designers, it is important to select fonts that are legible and readable at the intended sizes. Not all fonts will render well at small text sizes. Each Web Fonts from Ascender includes recommendations for minimum pixel size usage, ensuring your font will look high quality and legible on your site.
