After talking about the thought process on great typography back on Monday, I thought it was the best place to dedicate today to a showcase of some great typography there is online — just enough to motivate you!

A List Apart

The all famous A List Apart shows a great range of typography designing with a site based on the typographical side. As a magazine site this is a particularly strategic good move and leads to a clean, simple and easily read site.

Design Shack

The newly re-designed Design Shack website shows simplicity and a clear focus on the content yet using the typography to make the design. It is using a lot of differences in fonts, both font types, sizes, colours and capitalisation to get the message across in a nicely designed and set way.

Squared Eye

Squared Eye is a more business like website that still employs a great design and great typography. It is a clean and simple site, using typographic differences to its advantage to make sure the different parts of the content gets displayed in their own ways.

Opera Magé

An Italian website, Opera Magé has got a very stylish website also using a wide range of typographic elements in different parts of the site to enhance the feel.

Junecloud

Design-aware Junecloud is using a lot less variation between font types but still maintain a strong typographic showcase with the stylistic differences in the different typographic parts of the content to get the message across easily.

JimmyOH.com

Website of a swedish designer by the name of Jimmy Oh shows great thinking to the overall design and using the typographic elements to make it easy to get what he wants with his website. With plenty of spacing between each line, it is easy to read the copy on the site.

Valor Ambiente

Valor Ambiente has a clean approach and is using as many of the others a variation of booth serif and sans-serif fonts on the website as well as typographically based boxes to highlight certain parts of the content.

SprintBio

SprintBio, like Junecloud are sticking to the more conventional approach of using sans-serif fonts on their website only but with enough difference between the different types of copy being presented on the site, it is safe to say that they have a good approach to design and typography still in a more corporate environment that isn’t used to the web in the same way.

***

To conclude, these sites are all using rather similar strategies to create a simple, effective and powerful typography on their sites. It is easy to read and grasp what it is about while still drawing you in to read more.
