Thesis Font Guide

Thesis 1.8 Font Guide

It was announced recently that Thesis 1.8 would include support for the entire library of the Google Font directory.  Sweet! A nice bonus to be sure. But with more choice comes more complexity. What to do, what to do? I decided it might be useful to have a reference guide for fonts supported in Thesis.  The chart below is the result.  It has some useful information for font junkies as well as some links if you need more details. Aside from the name, some of the type information has been added just to make it easy to choose.  I color coded it to make it a little more obvious what lies where. [I included a visual pun for one of the colors, let me know if anyone spots it.]

See Them

Also as an added bonus [and because I love you guys and gals] I created an Album of the fonts supported by Thesis over on MyFonts.com for easy visualization. These are the non-Google fonts, you can see those over here.

Download It

You can also download the table for your own use if you want to be able to sort by style, etc. Get it as CSV or Excel. Image Credit via Flickr [CC License]
