Big fonts in webdesign

Using big font size to get visitors’ attention is nothing new. With following designs, font is also the most important part of the designs. It may be followed by the second most important items – images, graphics, layout style or whatever, but such visual hierarchy clearly tells the visitor how each page is meant to be viewed. Users’ eyes are drawn to the most important element on the page – big font – and the larger the font size is for every single element here the more important it appears. You would probably agree that if to attempt to make everything on a page emphasized, it’s that easy to end up with a page that has very little appeal or, even worse, blend everything into a boring muddle. Here we have web designs that are using typography to get attention. Using big fonts is actually a good way of performing this task. We’ve however tried to gather designs that don’t go overboard with this technique. Today’s website and template examples simply choose the right font to compliment the website’s style and make it attractively over-sized to establish certain one-of-a-kind mood.
