Where words fail, font speaks.

I'm quite fond of font. I believe there's a connection between the font you use and what kind of person you are. For this blog I wanted to reflect my simplistic style and not over-do the overall appearance. Font was no exception to my simplistic ideal, I wanted something that was easy to read and complimented the ethereal quality of my theme. 

In researching the font I wanted to use I decided to gain inspiration on the Frankie blog and was delighted to find a post which linked me to blogger Emma Dine, writes reviews of different fonts. The post with font I found most intriguing was 'TOP-NOTCH TYPE #26' which discussed the font, Linux.

Linux was my ideal font, I knew it the moment I saw it. The tilted letters, the curled edges and the sense of familiarity connected with me. It's not often that you have an emotional bond with font and when you do, you embrace it. Unfortunately, I had an issue with using Linux as my blog font and ended up settling with Georgia.

Side by side both fonts are very similar so it doesn't impact the overall affect I wanted to portray. Georgia font is slightly wider and more rounded than Linux, however Georgia does feature the same serif's on each character. 

I was disappointed that I couldn't use Linux on my blog but I am happy that I found an alternative that didn't completely sacrifice my ideal font style completely. Unfortunately, I'm not yet a master of html codes but I'm learning everyday.
