Several weeks ago I wanted to write an article on how to stylize articles’ titles. It isn’t one of the hardest things on Earth, but I’ve noticed that on many sites this topic is badly implemented. I will write about this but in a different manner. Instead of creating and explaining I will present you one handy website regarding titles typography – Typechart.

Typechart Features

Typechart is a resource site dedicated to quality typography samples. On this website you can check several types of typefaces with different styles applied. Typechart does everything for you since it offers all kind of information like: operating system, font size, style previews and even the full CSS code. Everything is in place and it is displayed inside a well designed interface.

You must not expect to have all the fonts here. The site has previews only for some of the most common font-faces: Arial/Helvetica, Cambria, Georgia, Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Trebuchet MS and Verdana. Since these fonts are not standard on both Mac OS and Windows, this site has a visual feedback that tells you where to expect to find this font. This is a very useful thing that tells you the OS placements of the font, and in this case you can decide what font to choose based on your target. You have also additional options for font style: bold, italic, uppercase or font size: small, medium, large, extra large.

Typechart Drawback

As you can see you have enough features for css typography testing. I can say that Typechart is a decent CSS typography utility although it has one drawback. The renderings are only on Mac OS 10.5 and Windows Vista. This means that you have a little diversity. A good option would be to test it on other OS’ and browsers. Overall a nice tool. Cheers!
