Since we were granted the ability to make font choices beyond Helvetica and Georgia thanks to the @font-face rule and the various web fonts services we’ve seen an explosion of custom web fonts in website designs. Nowadays we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to web typography and handwritten fonts have started to gain more and more popularity.

The world of web typography is advancing by leaps and bounds. Already we have the options of SiFR, Cufon, Typekit, @font-face and a few years ago even Google had introduced its own custom font service under the Google Font API.
