Help with font selection
Feb. 23rd, 2006 11:27 amI want to play with the layout of Einblatt, so I'm looking for help with either or both of two things:
First, some time ago someone gave me a pointer to a font selection site. IIRC, it asked a bunch of questions, and then gave recommendations based on the answers.
Second, I'm looking for a good body font and headline font pair to use. I want a pair that "feels" like it's somehow related to science-fiction - it could be that they bring to mind 50's pulp magazines, or whatever else works for you.
Here's a sample of what I'm currently doing (and am bored with). I'm unlikely to change the basic three column layout, but fiddling with the fonts used has a strong temptation.
