I searched high and low for a font for Komodo Media. It is such a pain to find a font for your own site. I can’t tell you how many times I scrapped the font families for the whole site and started over. I can however, remember 2 fonts that I wrestled with. Initially, I started with Chalet London 60 from House Industries, which I absolutely love, but didn’t feel right for this site. I later battled with using the lovely Archer from Hoefler & Frere-Jones, which I still love to this day and want very very badly. Somehow, I was dissatisfied with both (perhaps because of the price at the time). I decided to move on.
I’d been waiting months watching Museo unveil on Jos Buivenga’s site as he skillfully worked his craft. The timing was perfect and he released his Museo just as I was finishing my site. I just wanted to throw a shout out to him for his fine work on Museo. I think it needs more praise and is extremely low-priced for such a great slab serif font. I encourage you to check out all of the weights and drool over this sweet font.
Cheers Jos! Nice work.
Aye, this is a great font. So many nice fonts out there =)
What a nice post! Thanks very much.
I’m glad Museo was worth the wait.
Where in the heck did you get that Javascript controller for the Foilage, I love that….
Did you write that? Please send me a link if you have it online to share!
Thanks,

Great fonts! Sometimes it is really hard to find a good one, usually i hire a company to make a design and a suitable font.

It is always really hard to find the right font which you want to use in your design. We design fonts by ourselves too, but it takes very long time for the final result. Most of the time it is cheaper to buy than to create. greetz, Bram
