Blog Post: Typography

Find three websites that you believe has good typography. What about the typography works for you? How does it relate to the theme or purpose of the website?

1. http://www.loveandlemons.com/

Love and Lemons uses a courier-like body font to add a vintage character feel to their blog posts, as well as a custom watercolor texture font on their main banner. It works very well of the theme and purpose of the website, which is homey-feeling cooking blog. 

2. http://www.topwithcinnamon.com

This food blog uses sans-serif font to create a minimalist body and a hand-painted banner font to add style and color. The hand painted font contrasts nicely with the thin, minimalist font used of the rest of the blog. 

3. http://iamafoodblog.com

This blog has a trendy feel, which is helped by its use of all-lowercase serif-type font as a header/banner. Its body font is mostly simple and with serifs, but also uses interesting, sometimes hand-drawn, fonts on top of images as titles. This adds visual interest and is paired well with the plainness of the simple serif main body font.
