Previous Font: Hoefler Text
I chose the following new fonts to add to the website:
- Spectral
- Karla
I chose Spectral and Karla as the two fonts to implement. Spectral is a serif-font, and I will implement it as a header font (h1, h2, h3), as it is clean, some-what "fancy/upscale" and easy to read. The previous font was an "Old Style" Hoefler Text, classic and traditional. The new font, Spectral, is a bit more transitional and Modern. I chose spectral because there is a larger spacing in-between letters which improves legibility. I chose Karla, a sans-serif typeface, for the paragraph text because it is modern and constrasts nicely with Spectral. I believe that the two fonts add a sense of moderness plus a sense of class.
Overall, there weren't too many changes that I made to the site. CSS wise, I first changed the fonts to their new typefaces. I noticed that the paragraph font was a little hard to read, so I upped the size and increased the line spacing to increase legibility.
The only other CSS change that I made was to change the background color of the container to white. This increases the constrast between the typeface and the background -- increasing reability.
