Selecting Typography Using OS X’ Preview

· Comment

I set out to using free, open-source web fonts for a par­tic­u­lar project late­ly. I’ve had book­marked some arti­cles a while back with some pret­ty cool com­bi­na­tions that will help the Design process move a long a bit faster. To name a few:

In those arti­cles where screen­shots of sam­ple com­bi­na­tions. I just saved them to my local dri­ve for com­par­i­son. If you don’t have Adobe Light­room (for its Sur­vey or Com­pare views) or Adobe Bridge (for its Thumb­nail view) but are on OS X, you can use Pre­view to com­pare the stills.

As for Bas­ket­ball back in High School & Col­lege, I think the most expen­sive shoes I’ve worn were them CB34s haha. The price just did­n’t jus­ti­fy what I was into dur­ing the time; or what I need­ed more of. A wise friend told me once, try­ing to put things into per­spec­tive cost-wise, “you know how many Del Taco soft tacos you can get with that?“1 =)
