Typography

Pairing suggestions

This box contains a few "body text" / "headline font" pairings.

Font family

The basic typeface of the page. Up to "Verdana" the fonts are taken from the visitor's PC (i.e. the closest match), starting with "Alegreya Sans Light" come the so-called "web fonts" (http://fonts.google.com/), which need to be downloaded at page load. This might add some initial page load time, but these fonts look better.

Base font size

By default, the browsers render web pages with 16px sized fonts. You can make this initial size a bit smaller or larger.

Headline font

This font is used for page titles and folder thumbnail titles. Can be "Same as base font", or a web font. You can even copy/paste a font name from http://fonts.google.com/ .
