I really like the font you employ for your text, perfect.
Easy to read, easy on the eye, smooth and pleasing.
Care to share what it is?

The font for the stamp descriptions is Liberation Sans, which is an open source clone of Arial. I prefer to use Helvetica to Arial, but I could not find an open source clone of it. The font on the top of the page that says Ukraine, the date and the type of stamp is League Gothic. You can get the Liberation fonts from here: fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/League Gothic is available here: www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/league-gothic/My goal, when I started this mess known as the the Tryzub Ukrainian Stamp album, was to allow anyone to take the pages and modify them at will. In order to do that, I went after free and/or open source solutions to create the album. Since I am a big time Linux geek, I was able to find tools that work on Linux, Mac and Windows and were completely free. No one was going to try and modify anything if they had to spend a couple hundred bucks to get MS. Publisher, Quark Xpress or Adobe InDesign. But if you can go download Scribus for free, then maybe someone would take some interest and modify things. Anyway.... Some other great free fonts I found are: Source Sans Pro: store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?event=displayFontPackage&code=1959Open Sans: www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/open-sans (And tons of other places. Google it.) |
