What is that font?

Web fonts are now more and more common and sometimes when you see a good looking site you think, humm I like that font, I would like to use it too. Well that is why I love the What Font bookmarklet from Chengyin Liu.


This little JavaScript bookmarklet lets you easily know which font a site is using by just clicking the bookmark and hovering over the text in question. What Font will then show a a small transparent overlay with the typeface name. Of course you can do this in FF firebug but this is just so simple and quick.

Lobster Font

The Lobster script font, designed by Pablo Impallari is growing in poularity on websites and I can see why. It is a free font, that is on the Google Web Fonts Directory and looks wonderful.

As a script font it gets around the problem of how to join the letters up by having multiple versions of each letter, with over 79 subtle ligatures and 37 terminal forms that .which not only makes it fully versatile that works well on websites and even on print but also makes it look great. The font is bold and condensed that supports full Latin1 Charset.
