Typography is Loud: Type-Focused Front Pages

• 6 minutes READ

We are no longer talking about typography only in the context of characteristics of the typeface such as size, weight and style that are aimed to display text; it means much much more.

It is an art with a broad range of possibilities, which not everyone is able to handle competently. In the right hands it works wonders. Paying attention to typography in website design never gets old and always stays relevant, and this year list of web design trends has proved this once more, featuring large type.

From websites with gorgeous typography to those that feature well thought out matches of fonts, typography is a powerful designer tool. Today’s collection is dedicated to trendy websites with fonts that are “loud.”

Typography is Loud Type-Centered Front Pages

Using matchless typography is an excellent way to naturally call the attention to the logotype, spice up the page design and add a subtle touch of creativity. The massive, smooth splashy type inspired by water bubbles wonderfully collaborates with muted environment, giving the front page an elegant feel.

Thunderdome adopts a fresh take on minimalism, giving the landing page a neat, yet visually appealing appearance. A strong color scheme, plenty of white space, tiny solid graphics and a muted image backdrop enable a relatively massive tagline to stand out and “speak” loudly.

The website with its picturesque background exudes a stately image of natural beauty that produces an overwhelming impression. Despite such an overpowering effect, the main phrase catches the eye and becomes a centerpiece of the page. A solid, subtle font pairs with well thought out choice of weight and size lets text stand in a stark contrast to the canvas.

The Wanderlust Storybook

This is another example of website design that owes its magnificent appearance to a mind-blowing background. This time, ingenious lavish watercolor-esque illustration brightens the backdrop. Nevertheless, the tagline takes the lead position and conveys the necessary messagedue to the boldness of the type.

This agency demonstrates how to creatively kill two birds with one stone. The front page of C2 depicts a unique and elaborate arrangement of words that form a splendid typographic piece. It serves as an extraordinary navigation and at the same time as a logotype. Here the type gathers everything together like a puzzle and allows nav links to sound.

Ape Unit

Ape Unit skillfully takes advantage of minimalist concept, opting in favor of clean, monochrome backdrop, tiny navigation and, of course, a welcome message. The latter, thanks to emptiness of the page, stands out a mile.

Much like the previous example, a black-and-white color palette does all the heavy lifting, elegantly highlighting the greeting and making the type almost shout at you. This time white plays the first fiddle, naturally separating the bold, huge, black tagline from the backdrop.

51North

Ominous “666” just can’t pass unnoticed, especially when they take up a center position and create the whole buzz. Of course, the first thing that catches the eye is these three digits. However, rest of the content grabs the attention as well.

Liechtenecker

The home page strikes an optimal balance between a dark, subtle backdrop and smooth font. This factor lets the nameplate resonate. The artist achieves a subtle sense of harmony that leaves a favorable first impression.

Melanie DaVeid

Not only can bold or massive type sound loud but also refined, sophisticated and ultra-thin can do the trick, of course, when correctly presented and surrounded by a proper environment. The landing page of Melanie DaVeid’s personal portfolio is a typical example of this. Sleek, delicate hand-written type simply resounds.

FiberSensing

Uni Sapon

A spectacular landscape background gives enough prominence to the welcome message, clearly demonstrating that the regular typography can also do the trick. The typeface naturally maintains the user’s focus on a key statement and sounds just mighty.
