Sites That Use Typography Effectively and Sites That Don't

Introduction

All over the internet there are hundreds of different sites. They go across different subjects, from medicine to entertainment. Most of them also hold meaningful information but the best websites that one can be able to learn and understand information are the ones that make effective use of typography. Typography is the art of using words to help a reader understand the message trying to be conveyed. Most sites use typography in an effective way, others look like they aren't even attempting to use it. This blog is going to go over one site that uses typography effectively, and one site that doesn't.


The Website That Does It Right

Allrecipes does a good job when it comes to adding in typography. On its homepage, the featured recipes have titles that are in much larger text than their descriptions. These titles are in bold too, to bring the user's attention to it. Everything on the homepage seems to be readable too. When you go to the actual recipes, all of the headings, like ingredients and directions, are in bold. Important things like steps and nutrition facts are also in bold. This helps readers who are in a hurry to easily skim through the page to find important information quick. The font and spacing are good too, making reading comfortable. Allrecipes certainly knows what they are doing when it comes to typography.


The Website That Does It Wrong

Daily Mail is a site where you can get different kinds of news, and its homepage is a mess. There is way too much text, and way too many distractions on the site. The text is all cluttered together as well, making the pages hard and uncomfortable to read. Clearly the only thing they took into account when they added typography is using different fonts that correspond well together. Otherwise, this site practically does everything wrong when it comes to typography. What I would recommend they do to improve their typography is for them to space out their news and stop cluttering the text.

Summary

To conclude, a website can have useful information, but it is practically meaningless if it doesn't have good typography. Allrecipes has good information on it that is presented with good typography. On the other hand, Daily Mail has some-what useful information, but all of it is cluttered together, making it hard to read. Now you know of a website that uses typography right, and one that does it wrong.
