web-components VS Google Fonts

Component UX. Do you need keyboard navigation? Mouse hover? Shortcuts? I suggest staying safe, combining existing components, and making your custom solutions sparingly.

Vaadin does the same for Java.

Components are ready made, code is in pure java. Do check this out https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/components

Head over to a font repository like Google Fonts and choose a font you like. Let's say we pick "Briem Hand" from the search input. Download the font files by clicking Get Font, usually provided in a zip format.

Thanks!, hadn’t come across Mebinac.

I’m also a big fan of Igino Marini’s recreation of the Fell typefaces:

The Fell Types took their name from John Fell, a Bishop of Oxford in the seventeenth-century. Not only he created an unique collection of printing types but he started one of the most important adventures in the history of typography. — https://web.archive.org/web/20240128075552/https://iginomari...

The IM Fell fonts themselves seem to live on Google Fonts these days: https://fonts.google.com/?query=Igino+Marini

I use Doves Type for… everything. One day I started to find my monomaniacal obsession a bit funny and sort of to spite myself I set every font in Firefox to Doves Type. Serif, sans-serif, monospace, no other fonts allowed, as well as the UI font by tweaking the Firefox user profile iirc.

And it was just… very good. And I kept using it.

I use Doves Type for everything, and to be able to do that on my phone I use iFont: https://apps.apple.com/is/app/ifont-find-install-any-font/id...

Or yeah I do use IBM PC VGA 9x16, IBM BIOS 8x8, and Eagle Spirit PC CGA Board Alternate 3 a little :) From the Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/

I even munged together a combination of Doves Type Regular and IM Fell Great Primer Italic that matches the character scale and linespacing to both each other and to the IBM PC VGA 9x16 font at 1:1 size. FontLab did the trick!: https://fontforge.org/en-US/

(FontForge can autogenerate italics for any font. If you’re bored, I suggest loading up the classic VGA font and pressing the ITALICIZE button on ot. It’s… interesting!)

In general, on Windows I much prefer MacType’s fomt rendering: https://www.mactype.net … it’s kind of amazing that this kind of surgery is even possible.

Choose and download font When choosing a font for your application design, you need to consider the factors such as the font's readability, its contrast, how well it can scale on different devices, and whether it matches your application's brand and color scheme. After deciding the font, download its .tff files. One can get these files from Google Fonts. In this example, we will download 'Sedan SC' font.

I first checking out any good fonts on Google font that fits the theme of the website. I select the Nunito as I could feel the playful vibe behind it.

Visit Google Fonts and search for Lusitana to see what options are available.

Next I spruced up my form's visuals a bit by heading to Google Fonts and finding one that had camping vibes - eventually landing on Amatic SC. Then I had the wild idea of making the form look like a piece of paper, so that I could make the submit button fold the paper up into an envelope or paper airplane and fly off screen if it was submitted successfully (This was EXTREMELY high hopes and I didn't even get around to trying to start this animation in the time I allotted myself 😂). I started by trying to find a crumpled paper look on sites like Hero Patterns, but eventually found myself on this codepen:
