Speaking of good web fonts, my new theme (troublesome thing) has lots of C-font goodness going on. Here’s what I’m using:
- Charis SIL for the heading and body text, with Calluna (using TypeKit) as a fallback.
- Calibri with Helvetica as a fallback for the buttons and date text (oh, if only CSS would allow you to use
text-transformon numerals as well as letters).
I’ve also significantly increased the base font size and obsessively adjusted the spacing for improved readability and cleanliness. The post footers have shed some unwelcome weight—Does anyone really care whether the links at the bottom are tags or categories? I didn’t think so.—and are now enjoying a more svelte, more elegant appearance. You can tell me if you feel there’s been an improvement; for my part, I’m feeling pretty good about it.
