You may have already read the story behind the Wayfinding Sans typeface on I Love Typography and you might have seen the empirical study that proved its outstanding legibility. But you don’t need to take our word for it. We want to give you the chance to try Wayfinding Sans and see for yourself.

In April of 2008, shortly after Apple released Safari 3.1 with webfont support, we announced the free download of Graublau Sans Web—one of the first professional webfonts specifically released for @font-face use on websites.

At this time, the download kit only included two OpenType fonts, which could be used in Safari. Our goal was to support the “webfont revolution” and hopefully someday have a full webfont support in all browsers. Today, this is already true. All current browsers have webfont support—even though this support is usually achieved by providing different webfont formats.

Since Graublau Sans Web is still a popular typeface for websites, we decided to update the download kit. Now it includes all common webfont formats (TrueType, WOFF and EOT).

You can see a live demo of the typeface here.

Note: We provide this typeface free of charge, but that does not mean that it is free of rights. Please study the EULA, which is included in the download package. Some key facts:

• —You can use this typeface free of charge for personal or commercial projects.
• —You can only use the typeface as webfont via @font-face linking.
• —You can NOT use the typeface for regular design work, like creating print brochures, logotypes and so on.
• —You can NOT redistribute the typeface on other websites.
• —You can NOT bundle it with web templates, smartphone apps and so on.
• —You can NOT create derivative works of the typeface.

When the webfont revolution started in 2008 with the release of Safari 3.1, fonts.info was one of the first foundries to support this development with the release of our free Graublau Sans Web typeface. Today this technology is implemented in all recent browser versions and we are happy to announce that our commercial typefaces are now also available as webfonts.

OpenType is the standard font format of these days. But even 14 years after its introduction, many users don’t really know what the term OpenType implies and how it differs from other font formats. Since I use the domain opentype.info for my weblog, I thought it is time to shed some light on this confusing subject …
