Ever since Kernest.com launched, web designers have been asking for better ways to incorporate web fonts early in their design process – to more quickly determine if a font will work for their project.
As part of that, we’ve been adding more font previewing options within Kernest.com; this includes easily changing color, size, word spacing, letter spacing, and line height easily within the browser.
Today, I’m pleased to announce Kernest.com is offering downloadable Web Font Packages. This makes it even easier to try out fonts and provide a consistent brand identity across web and non-web designs.
The Web Font Packages include everything you need; the fonts, their licenses, sample CSS, and a sample HTML page.
To download the Web Font Package for the websites you’ve added to Kernest.com – sign in, click ‘Your Profile’ and click the ‘Download Web Font Package’.
While the vast majority of the fonts within Kernest.com are available for download – some are not. If you want to make sure the font you select is download-able, look for the ‘Downloadable’ style tag.
Happy Holidays.
Typekit could really take a note or two from this feature. This is probably the most important feature font as a service could give designers.
