The Next Big Thing in Online Type – by Anne Van Wagener
This article deals with a Microsoft’s development and distribution of six new type faces that will help with user readability. The article then goes on to tell you that these new font faces are much better than previous fonts because of how much easier they are to read. Then the author Anne Wagener tells us of the types of fonts that they are, with three of the fonts being san-serif, two being serif, and one font being a monospaced font.
After this section the article goes more in-depth into each one of the fonts, but the article seems to be a little bit bias at this point because then the writer tells the reader what she thinks the best and worst fonts are. Although the writer is opinionated, she still tells the reader what each font does well, like the first font Caribri and how it is “appropriate for use both in text sizes and larger headline sizes”. The article does a good job of describing these fonts, along with telling the reader what they can be used for.
