Fun with Fonts: 3 Brands Making a Statement

Written by Peter Devereaux | Jun 16, 2016 5:00:00 AM

Most websites can get away with choosing traditional font choices on their websites; startups, those catering to the design community and other companies just looking to make a statement, however, can successfully use uncommon typography elements to stand out from the digital crowd.

Here's a quick look at three websites with interesting font choices for your inspiration:

PUMP RESTAURANT

Using all caps and Judson font for the Web page text and Damion for the logo, Pump Restaurant (featured on Bravo reality TV shows) makes a statement with its typography choices as shown using the WhatFont Chrome extension below.

CANVAS

A New York-based digital agency, Canvas pushes the digital envelope not by its font types necessarily (according to WhatFont different sans-serif fonts) but rather through parallax scrolling; it changes the background of its logo as the visitors scrolls down the page.

FUELED

Using NudistaWeb according to WhatFont, Fueled's font choices are cool and complementary to the cityscape image used in the background on the homepage. As a mobile app development company, Fueled can afford to be a little daring with font choices and that is what it has done. Anyone who has a minute to spare should check out how the company showcases its customer stories as well (on its homepage).
