If you often do quick and easy pie, bar, circular or male/female charts for reports or presentations, you know it can be really time consuming producing even the most simple pie chart.

Amazing Infographica

Enter Amazing Grotesk from Zetafonts. The font family includes Amazing Infographica, which allows you to create simple charts like you see in the image below in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Keynote, PowerPoint or any other app, simply by typing a few letters and numbers.

This is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever come across as far as simple solutions go. All the charts in the image above were created in InDesign by typing a few simple characters.

You can download just the Infographic Font here if you don’t want the full Amazing Grotesk font, which is free for personal use. The full version costs just $79.

This font won’t replace the need for creating charts/graphics entirely, but for the simple ones you need quickly, you just can’t beat it!

Be sure to check-out the other great fonts they have to offer while you’re on the Zetafonts website.

Fivo Sans is an awesome sans-serif font, perfect for use in small body copy or giant headlines. I love a nice neutral looking sans serif font that still manages to have some personality to it.

Find out what font a web page is using http://www.thegraphicmac.com/find-out-what-font-a-web-page-is-using/ Tue, 30 May 2017 15:00:37 +0000 http://www.thegraphicmac.com/?p=12421
I recently came across an awesome browser extension that allows you to hover over text on a webpage and have the name of the font appear in an overlay. It’ll even show you the font size, leading and spacing amount.

FontFace Ninja extension

FontFace Ninja takes it a step further by allowing you to click the “Mask” button to hide all the images, ads and bothersome clutter to allow you to see only the text on the page. The website has a great intro video to show you exactly how the extension works.

Rounding-off the feature list is a button that allows you to purchase the font you’re interested in with (this feature doesn’t work with all fonts, but they have a pretty good collection of providers for the feature).

FontFace Ninja is free and works with Safari, Chrome and Firefox. It’s perfect for web designers and developers!
