The term Web 2.0 refers to the second generation of web development incorporating websites designed to encourage sharing and collaboration between users, like social networking sites (e.g. Facebook), video sharing sites (e.g. Youtube), wikis (e.g. Wikipedia) and blogs (e.g. this one).

Of course, Web 2.0 sites are not only accessed through desktop computers with large displays. They are increasingly being viewed on portable web-ready devices, from mobile phones to netbooks and car dashboards, not to mention on TVs and through a plethora of video game consoles. The best Web 2.0 fonts, therefore, must look great at a range of scales regardless of what device is being used.

Web 2.0 sites aim to encourage participation and Web 2.0 fonts must do the same. In addition to being highly legible, the best are inclusive and accessible to all. They are cool, original and striking, but not to the extent that they are only appreciated by certain groups with specific aesthetic sensibilities.

Here are 15 great ones to download and start using in your designs!

1. Corpulent

Corpulent is a simple font that looks at its best in uppercase.

2. Airstrip Four

Airstrip Four combines straight and curved edges to great effect.

3. Automatica

This is a stylish, somewhat squat, sans serif font.

4. Rezland

Rezland is a really cool, curvy font. Unfortunately, it’s only available in lower case.

5. Ubuntu Title

Ubuntu Title takes up little horizontal space, so it perfect for inserting into tight spots.

6. Tuffy

Tuffy looks friendly and playful, but not at the expense of clarity.

7. Photonica

Photonica is a futuristic-looking seriffed font that looks even better when italicised.

8. Moderna

Moderna’s rounded letters are really well balanced and very attractive.

9. Arista

Arista is also available in ‘light’ and ‘extra filled’. The ‘light’ version looks fantastic when viewed on a small screen (such as on a mobile phone). The ‘extra filled’, on the other hand, is practically illegible.

Eric Gill, Adrian Frutiger and Max Miedinger are names we associate with the classic typefaces designers use on a daily basis. Their font creations are timeless designs that look right at home no matter what century we’re in. This collection of 25 classic fonts is a round up of the best and most popular fonts every designer should own. You can be sure that they will last your whole design career.

Helvetica

Who hasn’t heard of Helvetica? It’s probably the most recognised classic typeface. Originally designed 1957 by Swiss designer Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann

Bodoni

Bodoni is a serif typeface designed by Giambattista Bodoni in 1798. Iconically used for the Goodfellas gangster movie poster.

Clarendon

Clarendon is a fantastically fat slab serif, created by Robert Besley in 1845.

Akzidenz Grotesk

Akzidenz Grotesk was designed in 1896 by the H. Berthold AG type foundry and was used as inspiration in 1957 for the Helvetica typeface.

Avenir

Avenir is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed by Adrian Frutiger (recall the name? He’s also famous for another classic font, I’ll let you guess which one).

DIN

FF Din is a relatively new typeface compared to the veterans mentioned so far with it being created in 1995 by Albert-Jan Pool. One of my personal all time favs.

Futura

Futura is another widely used font that can be seen in countless logos. It was originally created in the 1920’s by Paul Renner.

News Gothic

News Gothic was designed by Morris Fuller Benton in 1908, and has the most amazing fact of being the typeface used during the Star Wars opening credits.

Frutiger

Remember Adrian Frutiger? Needless to say he was also the designer behind the classic Frutiger typeface.

Meta

FF Meta is another member of the modern classic collection, designed by Erik Spiekermann in 1986. Meta is another of my personal favourites.

Gill Sans

Designed by Eric Gill in 1926, Gill Sans is another widely used font in graphic design. Famous uses include the London Underground signage.

Garamond

Probably one of the most famous names for serif fonts, Garamond can be found in a number of variations. Overall it’s commonly used for body text in books.

Mrs Eaves

Mrs Eaves is a recent design of a traditional serif typeface style by Zuzana Licko in 1996.

Dax

Dax, now famously used for the branding of UPS, was originally created by Hans Reichel.

Myriad

Yes, that one that appears as default in your Adobe apps. Myriad was designed specifically for Adobe by Rober Slimback and Carol Twombly.

VAG Rounded

VAG Rounded, aka VAG Rundschrift makes an appearance in countless web2.0 logos, but was originally designed in 1979 as a corporate identity for Volkswagen.

Optima

Optima is a German typeface designed by Hermann Zapf. It’s a sans-serif font on a low calorie diet with it’s thinning lines around the letterforms.

Avant Garde

Originally created for the Avant Garde Magazine, the Avant Garde font is now seen in plenty of printed headlines.

Univers

Univers is another classic by Adrian Frutiger. It has typical swiss styling and is often confused with Helvetica, or Akzidenz Grotesk.

Rockwell

Rockwell is probably the most iconic slab-serif font. Designed by Monotype in 1934 it’s now used in all kinds of designs for an eye grabbing impact.

Minion

Minion is a popular sans-serif font designed by Robert Slimback in 1990 for Adobe. Cleverly named after the traditional naming system for type sizes.

Sometimes you need to go a little bit wild with your typography. In these cases, you can either take the easy way and choose a fancy font from some of the free font site like Dafont or Urban Fonts, or get creative and give some extra sparkle to your ordinary font, creating a typographic design which can stand by itself. This tutorial, discusses this later option. Beware of the following boolean operations galore!

Final Image Preview

Below is the final image we will be working towards, as well as a few color variations. Want access to the full Vector Source files and downloadable copies of every tutorial, including this one? Join Vector Plus for just 9$ a month.

For this tutorial, I used CorelDRAW but the techniques discussed apply for most vector editing software.

Step 1 – Type, Organize, and Choose the Font

Find the relationships in your copy and organize the text accordingly. For this tutorial, I’ve chosen a calligraphic font called Old Script from dafont.com, but any script font will do.

Step 2 – Convert to Curves and Break Apart

To modify the font we will need curves. Select your text and press Command + Q (convert to curves) and then press Command + K or use the Break Apart icon form the Property Bar, to break apart the components of the font. Since inner parts are separate elements we need to trim them from the rest of the character.

Step 3 – Trim Inner Parts

Shift-select the inner (I’ve altered their color to orange) and the outer parts of a character and press trim on the Property Bar. If you want to have more control over boolean operations, then you can turn on the Shaping docker from the Window menu. Then select the source object, press Trim, and select the target object with the special cursor.

Sometimes after the break apart operation the inner parts go behind the outer parts. In this case, select the outer part and press Shift + Page Down to send it to the back. It is always a good idea to have two different colors for boolean operations.

Step 4 – Give Some Flesh to the Characters

Select an individual letter and drag away. Before releasing your button, click with the right button and you will get a copy of the original shape. Repeat the copy operation, but this time move the copy to the left a little bit to have two overlapping shapes.

Step 5 – Trim and Break

Select the two overlapping copies and click the Trim icon on the toolbar. Select the resulting shape and press Command + K to break apart.

Step 6 – Weld

Move away some of the resulting shapes to the right and weld the rest. The goal is to achieve a more dynamic look by increasing the difference between the thick and thin parts of the character. I find steps 4-6 the easiest way, but you can use any other techniques to achieve the desired alteration.

Step 7 – Clean Up Messy Curves

Remove unneeded nodes to have a clean flowing curve. Select the Shape Tool (F10) and right-click on a point, then select Delete from the context menu, or simply double-click the node with the Shape Tool. After a boolean operations, always check for stray segment and undesired nodes.

Step 8 – Glamorizing Begins

Make a copy of the character by moving it to the left, but just a tiny bit. Select the resulting shapes and press trim in the Property Bar. Repeat the copy and trim operation to the right, up and down.

Always move away the resulting chips and break them apart (Command + K). These small shapes will be the building bricks of the look we’re creating.

Step 9 – The Creative Part

Arrange the chips so that they overlap the original object. Rotate, scale, or duplicate them in a creative way, until you’re satisfied with the outcome.

Make an extra copy of the original shape for later use. Select the original shape and the chips and weld them by pressing the Weld icon on the Property Bar.

Step 10 – Let There Be Highlight

Pick the Interactive Contour Tool by pressing longer on the Effects Tool on the toolbar. In the properties bar, choose Inner contour, Number of steps 1, and a small offset depending on the size of your character. From the Arrange menu choose Break Contour Group Apart.

Step 11 – Finishing the Highlight

Pick the resulting object, clean it up, and position somewhere towards the top-left part of your character.

We are almost there. Make one more highlight if you wish following Steps 11-12.
