The Google Fonts service has been immensely popular with web designers ever since it first launched in May of 2010. And for good reason. There are no accounts to sign up for and no monthly fees like there are with other web font services. Just add a single line of code to your website and you have at your disposal a huge selection of free fonts that display beautifully on screen.

But all of this begs the question: why is Google in the fonts game? What do they have to gain by hosting fonts for millions of websites for free? Is Google in this for the long haul or will Google Fonts eventually end up in the dreaded Google Graveyard?

Design requires free, sometimes chaotic exploration. But design also means organisation and structure. Sketch can be good in both aspects, but moving from exploration to structured layouts with text styles and unified colors is hard. Either you start clean files from scratch, or you use what you have and try to tidy it up. The Style Inventory is meant to help you with that. It gives you an overview of all your used styles and helps you to merge styles of similar layers into one. This repositiory also contains a few other helpful plugins.

You could build a Photoshop document that contained many different icons, with one Layer Comp set up to display each icon. You could then use that Photoshop document as a Linked Smart Object in other documents and be able to choose a specific icon by selecting the corresponding Layer Comp. Think of it as a single Smart Object that acts as a library of elements.

People always ask what the worst part was. As if it’s possible to quantify in degrees of bad. When you kill someone, nothing compares.

The wide availability of web fonts has enabled sites to become typographical wonderlands, at the cost of increased page size and longer load times. Performance-focused developers already optimize their images and CSS; it makes sense that we should also optimize web fonts.

The good news is that doing is fairly easy: by creating your own custom font or supplying your web font hosting service with a simple variable value, you can load only the glyphs that you need for the text you have on the page, rather than the entire range of characters, numbers and symbols in the font, reducing page load times.

I got fed up with marketing speak and buzzwords often used to create the impression that a display is much better than it actually is, so I wanted to help people decide what to get with the actual numbers at hand, through an easy to use web app. Also, it was kinda fun to make. :-)
