Fedo ¶#Fediverse devs and designers, please help a graphic designer with fonts 🙏
(even a boost can help)
As someone might already know, I'm building a graphic design project involving Fediverse onboarding, it's going to be a website where I try, as a designer, to find the right communication approach to help people to approach the Fediverse
Fonts are quite important in graphic design, however in this specific context the license and source of the font is something I should care about, since I'm basically trying to make a contribution to the open web. Of course, design schools rarely teach the good practices in the foss context, so I really don't know where to start. For example, are "open source fonts" a thing? After all they're basically vector files, so the content of the file is accessible by default, but maybe I'm just misunderstanding the concept.
For know I'm just aware the some typefaces are released under the OFL license and many online font libraries give access to a ton of those fonts. Google fonts is of course the most known one, however using a Google font goes on the opposite direction of the project mission.
As devs and designers, how do you choose and use fonts respecting the principles of the open web?
Thanks a lot ✨
