A good webfont is hard to find. I’m extremely picky when it comes to this particular area of typefaces and tend to hate most of what I see. With this post, you can skip the work of sorting through the crap and cut straight to the awesome webfonts that are readable, attractive and perfect for your site.
All of the fonts are shown with a unique CSS treatment and provided with code for your instant implementation. They’re also all served up with Google Web Fonts so you’ll be up and running with a quick copy and paste, no downloads required!
Oleo Script
A nice thick script webfont with good readability and interesting letter shapes. Perfect for headlines.
Lobster Two
Lobster needs no introduction, it has become one of the most ubiquitous scripts on the planet in the last few years. Version two gives you the choice between bold and thin versions.
Berkshire Swash
I really love the ornamental nature of this typeface, the letters are big, bold and beautifully curvy. Use this if you want to convey an old world feel.
Merienda One
Merienda isn’t my favorite but it certainly has its uses. The letters have a brushed feeling with sharp directionality that conveys motion well.
Pacifico
Pacifico is just a great, round and loopy script that really has a unique feel to it. It’s hard to find a thick script with such nice curves and so much character so be sure to bookmark this one.
More Handwritten Google Webfonts
