Google has done it yet again! The ever-expanding site seems to be developing even further to reach a more diverse and broader range of consumers. Their new service launch makes Google more appealing to the website designer. Just a few days ago, the mega site launched the Google Font Dictionary and Google Font API to the public.
The two services work hand in hand in displaying and offering the code for various fonts available. These free fonts come from a wide range of typography designers and all fonts are considered to be open source. Their newest edition makes searching and utilizing various fonts for web design a breeze. Browse through numerous fonts, witness how they would look directly on your webpage and access the code on Google Font Dictionary. Google Font API then helps you add your font of choice to any web page.
Currently, there are numerous fonts that are left out of the dictionary, but Google appears to have plans to expand the dictionary on a constant basis. Surprisingly, the additions appear to be under the radar and have not received much publicity. Perhaps the newness factor and the services falling under the Google Code application make it easy for anyone to overlook or bypass.
