50 Web Designs with Beautiful Creative Typography

Typography on the web comes in two formats; firstly there’s the classic image replacement technique which allows for beautiful typographic designs, but it lacks the technical wow factor. Then there are true examples of web typography where designers wrangle with browsers to manipulate HTML rendered type in impressive ways, but while browsers and web technologies are continuously improving, this method often lacks in the visual flair that is achieved when designing typography in Photoshop and exporting it as an image. Both techniques result in equally inspiring web designs, so today’s showcase features a huge collection of sites with all kinds of web typography.

As one of the core design principles, typography can really make or break a website design. Despite recent advances in web type technology, we’re still fairly limited when it comes to creative typography layouts, meaning image replacement techniques are still common, but these days we have a massive choice when it comes to selecting fonts for our designs.
