Fonts In Use

Fonts In Use is the plain reference you pull when you need to see type actually working. The site is a public typography archive indexed by typeface, format, industry and period so you can find real world uses and case studies quickly. Contributions come from designers and studios, and each entry shows the context you need to judge a face beyond the specimen sheet.

For day to day design, Fonts In Use speeds decisions. You can search by typeface or browse tags like typeface combinations and formats to see how weights and pairings behave in editorial, branding, packaging and web. Those tagged uses are quick visual evidence you can drop into a deck or use to argue a pairing in a client call. The collection and short essays save you a ton of guesswork during palette and layout choices.

It is not a trends blog, and that is part of the point. Fonts In Use reads like a documentary archive rather than a hype machine, which makes it useful for defensible choices and risk averse briefs. You will still pair it with punchier trend sources when you want fresh sparks, but for researched references and copyable examples Fonts In Use stays in regular rotation. The site updates often and the steady stream of uses keeps the archive practical and relevant.
