Unless you have a photographic memory or are a typgraphy buff, it can be really hard to remember what a font looks like from memory. Sometimes you just need to see the font in action to determine which font is going to work best.
This week I’ve been really busy making Thesis Theme powered websites and have spent way too much time looking over and choosing fonts. So I finally broke down and took screenshots of what each of the web-safe fonts in Thesis Theme look like. I also resisted the urge to brand them in any way, so you can show them to your friends and clients without a watermark or anything else scuffing up your screenshots. I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor:
(note: I’m using a OSX 10.6 and Chrome. Your mileage may vary. Oh, and the fonts may look different on your screen too. But you’ll get the jist, right?)
