If you’re using Oswald, you don’t want to use Archivo Narrow - both are narrow in nature. And, pairing fonts can be tricky - why does one serif font work with this heading, and not the other? You want your font choices to be contrasting in nature. It’s not just choosing the right fonts, but pairing the right fonts together, that will make or break your design. Script (use for short headlines 1-2 words)

This is the one I picked.There are dozens of Canva fonts to use to create social media graphics, blog post graphics, even eBooks and resumes! But, which ones are the best fonts? Canva is a great tool for those who don’t have professional design software. Note however that its 4, 6, 7, 9 have a hint of old-style dripping. URW Bookman L looked great, except that its digit 1 is extremely similar to Georgia's lowercase L:įor me this was a deal-breaker as my original motivation to replace Georgia's digits was that its 0 digit is extremely similar to lowercase O.Ĭharter, by the same designer as Georgia and somewhat similar in spirit. Palatino/Palladio - also narrow and worse kerning. Times was not bad but narrower than Georgia (I didn't seriously test it cross-platform though).

Looks fine on platforms lacking Georgia (android, ubuntu).Īnd now kerning looks OK everywhere! (No idea why kerning is better - is it a different code path or just slightly different font - perhaps Font Squirrel did some magic?) => Replaced digits everywhere except IE8 (I only used WOFF format which is IE9+, probably could work with the right EOT incantation) ĭidn't inhibit Georgia for other characters anywhere Note especially "0th" and "4rd" on the italic lines.Ī webfont subsetted to include only the characters 0-9. (this is Bitstream Charter, Chrome on Ubuntu) I also tried a "double sandwitch" of Georgia without digits, only digits, full Georgia - I hoped this will make Firefox at least use Georgia for everything - but it failed in weird ways.Īlso, I noticed that digit-letter kerning was too tight with most fonts and platforms, e.g.:

What's worse is Firefox which ignored unicode-range but didn't invalidate the whole resulting in everything using the font I wanted only for digits. IE8 doesn't support it and shows only Georgia that's OK. Unfortunately I never got it to work cross-browser. (top is Palatino/Palladio digits, Georgia bottom is pure Georgia) Clean and effecient - the replacement font can reference system fonts or webfonts (which some browsers will skip loading if no characters use them). There are 2 easy ways to do this in a with limited unicode-range. See for all my experiments (most screenshots are Chrome on Ubuntu with Georgia installed, look for crossbrowsertesting links for cross-platform screenshots) You can test the combo at (feel free to edit). I ended up using Charter digits, as a webfont. I also wanted this and decided to use Georgia for most chars but take digits from another font.
