Typewolf’s Guide to Adobe Fonts (Typekit)

Adobe Fonts (formerly known as Typekit) is a great service but isn’t all that useful when you are in the typeface discovery, selection and pairing phase of a design project. If you are like me, then you find it difficult to choose typefaces based on examples of The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog or even worse, just the letters Ag.

Seeing real type on actual websites in the wild is much more useful—that is why you are visiting Typewolf, right?

But do you ever discover a typeface you really like on Typewolf but end up disappointed because it’s not available on Adobe Fonts? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could filter Typewolf to only show sites using fonts on Adobe Fonts?

Well I created a product that does exactly that. With Typewolf’s Guide to Adobe Fonts you’ll be able to browse Typewolf’s Site of the Day section in “Adobe Fonts mode”—every font you see in all of the designs will be available in your Adobe Fonts account. Quickly browse hundreds of real websites to see what typefaces render well for body copy, which ones pair well together and how they can be used to convey different moods.

You’ll also discover my handpicked selection of favorite Adobe Fonts font combinations with explanations of why the pairings work. I also include a collection of my top 10 favorite fonts on Adobe Fonts that I believe are underused on the web (Brandon Grotesque is nice and all but do you really want your site to look like every other site out there?).

If you are a Adobe Fonts user then you will save hours of time during the typeface selection process and end up with much nicer type on your final project. Here’s what’s included:

The 10 best underused fonts on Adobe Fonts
