Total Recall #5: 45+ Great Web and Icon Fonts of 2013

A lot has been said about importance and possibilities of typography. Whether you are using it in a website design or a graphic design, it has always something to contribute. It is more than a simple instrument to display your content, taglines or headlines; it is a sort of visual art that enormously enhances aesthetics, laconically sets the tone of the website, greatly supports the chosen style and naturally adds a note of personality. However as befits every essential tool, it has some restrictions and should abide by strict conditions when it comes to website design. Not every mind-blowing type can be used in it, yet thanks to several solutions such as @font-face CSS rule and webfont generators majority of the original fonts have got an opportunity to be embedded into design without a hitch. Besides, numerous type foundries provide users not only with a desktop version but also with a web version, which immediately clears up all issues. Today we are going to uncover the best web fonts from 2013 as well as pay particular attention to trendy free icon fonts which are getting more and more popular every year. They help to solve lots of problems with graphical filling that need to stay pixel-perfect regardless of size and browser's dimension.
