fancy microsites for non-Latin typefaces?

Amy Papaelias · December 2015

Hi TD, Looking for examples of interesting/ well-designed micro / promotional sites for typefaces or web fonts that at least include scripts beyond Latin.

For example: http://ernestinefont.com/features/

I don't know if that's the kind of micro website you're looking for, but Inknut Antiqua has a nice minimalist page http://clauseggers.github.io/

Ow thanks for looking at that Amy. I should really retinafy those images. (Sorry, don’t have anything to add to the list off the top of my head.)

I'd use the webfonts;)

Yes, Claus' is nice!

Many of the designers that I've commissioned libre fonts from are creating such microsite, here are a few off the top of my head:

Girish Dalvi put together http://www.idc.iitb.ac.in/~girish/demo for Ek Mukta (latin + devanagari)

Khaled Hosny has had http://amirifont.org up for a long time (arabic, with a 3rd party latin included)

Cadson Demak have done the best job so far, with http://cadsondemak.github.io as an index for the 12 latin + thai fonts developed this year.

Zepnep's http://theruqahproject.com and Aoife's http://aoifemooney.github.io/makingbiorhyme/ are intended to be larger than micro-sites, blogging the design process, although both projects are still in the middle of their initial phase so the sites are a bit empty at the moment
