Last March Tumblr began offering premium themes and since then we have seen select companies test the waters of this new and interesting market. For those of us that watched this develop, it was interesting to see the many mixed reactions from Tumblr’s users.
The doors first opened on Tumblr.com with prices ranging from $9 to $49. I’m sure many observed as I did; users were feeling disappointed and shocked with this decision, especially with prices up to $49. For me, I was suprised to see a much more simple platform competing with Wordpress prices. Since then, other stores have entered the market and brought down the prices to the high teens and it seems the dust has started to settle.
Now as we are 3 months into this new environment, I felt it necessary to present the top talent that has brewed up in this short time. Below I have assembled this small collection of what I would consider to be some of the top Tumblr themes from each store.

Selecting the right typeface for a particular design project can sometimes seem like a Herculean task. There are thousands upon thousands of different fonts and typefaces to choose from – some free, others requiring payment. The introduction of various means of using non-web-safe fonts on the Internet has only made this choice even more extensive. Recently, I have been digging through pages and pages of different typefaces, trying to decide on the perfect choice for a design I am currently working on.

While this article certainly cannot address all of the different considerations that go into choosing the right typeface, and though I would not consider myself a master typographer, I would like to offer one means of categorization that I believe can be beneficial for understanding the use of typography as it relates to the relative length of your copy.

Not All Typefaces are Created Equal

Part of the original inspiration for this particular article stemmed from some recent designs that I have been working on where clients requested particular fonts to be used. The problem (from my perspective), was these fonts (or at least the variations that are being chosen) were not actually ideal for the particular purposes for they were being requested.
