Font-Stack rebound for Dribbble
Couple of weeks back, I received a dribbble invite from Tuhin. It’s truly an amazing resource of design ideas and inspiration. I’m already in love with it. It’s beautifully designed by Dan Cederholm but by using better font-stack it can be enhanced even further.
With over 2143 players, Dribbble is populated by world’s most talented designers and I am sure most of them are using:
- Acrobat Reader 8 or greater
- Adobe Creative Suite CS3 or greater
- Mac OS X Leopard or at-least Windows Vista
Now according to Richard Rutter’s font-matrix, Myriad Pro is bundled with Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite CS3 whereas Segoe UI comes with Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista. Also Acrobat Reader 8 comes with Myriad Pro and Minion. Since Myriad Pro and Segoe UI are so common on designers’ systems why not use them to enhance the font-stack of Dribbble.
font-family:
"Myriad Pro", "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
Here is the snapshot of my dribbble page with Myriad Pro as primary font.
