This typeface, Alfa Slab One, would be great for a headline/title of a website or magazine. I like it because it has a lot of weight and has a slightly technological feel, like Wired Magazine's front page typeface.


This typeface, Quicksand, would work well for a main body of a website or magazine. I like that a lot of white space is left between letters; it makes it easier to read in my opinion. I also think it relates thematically to the above typeface since it has a slightly technological feel.

    I like the technological angle you're going with! It's definitely not something most slab serif fonts have associated with them, although a lot of designers are incorporating them in their new designs (just LOOK at GoDaddy!)


    The regular Quicksand is a *tad* to light for screens, but a medium or even a bold would display on screens pretty well. it makes me think of Amazon's Ember font that was created for the Kindle Paperwhite and Oasis - very modern and clean, but very readable.
