Project 2: Communicating Different Meanings of a Word

         

              I decided to use Verdana first, as it is a standard web font.  I used all uppercase characters and made it 40px.  It's legible and simple.

             For the second, I used Joti One from Google Webfonts. I decided to take these fonts from Google Webfonts because I work on a PC at home and the school has Macs so there are certain fonts that windows has that Mac does not and vice versa.  Using webfonts makes it easier to put my site on a Mac even though I worked on it with a PC because I know the typefaces aren't going to default to anything but what I want them to be.  Joti One is an interesting font.  It's legible in its larger size.

           The third typeface I used is called Butcherman and it is from Google Webfonts.  It works well in a large size as well.  It can be used for B-horror films and/or horror-punk bands usually.  It makes the word 'grin' seem a bit creepy.

          The last typeface I used is Scada, a Google Webfont.  To me, it is similar to Verdana.  It's simple and easy to read.  It's slightly less legible than Verdana.
