WebINK Launches New FontFuse Community Site

Monday 31. January 2011 - New site helps web developers and designers quickly select and pair fonts, browse creative selections, or create their own

Extensis, a division of Celartem Inc., today unveiled FontFuse, a new community web site to help web developers and designers quickly select and pair web fonts, share their matchings, and browse selections from other users for creative inspiration. With the depth of fonts available on the web, finding the right fonts for the job has become both an interesting and challenging task. FontFuse was created to help web developers and designers overcome these challenges.
“Web developers and designers are looking to collaborate, share and learn from their peers,” says Amanda Paull, Extensis Vice President of Marketing. “FontFuse is a place that connects creative types with creative typography on the web. It is the users who provide the skill and inspiration.”
FontFuse features high-quality web fonts from WebINK, a web font service offering more than 2,000 high quality fonts from 14 type foundries. A reliable and fast cloud-based service, WebINK is the industry’s leading way to find and use real fonts on the web. FontFuse extends the value of WebINK by helping web designers and developers to create the best pairings.
“Selecting the best fonts for design jobs has always been a challenge for today’s designers,” says Thomas Phinney, Extensis Product Manager for Fonts and Typography. “FontFuse allows users to select pairs of high quality web fonts for use in headlines and body copy, and then share that knowledge with the rest of the design community.”
FontFuse was developed in collaboration with Blue Collar, a full-service digital agency that offers a wide range of creative and client services, web development and interactive marketing services.
