Typography configurations

[KyleAMathews]

Put together a really nice configuration? Add it here so others can learn. The best of these will get added to the README.md and the app.

[KyleAMathews]

This configuration was inspired by BoingBoing.net — very nice longform text setup.

[KyleAMathews]

This configuration was inspired by http://buytaert.net/ — nice and simple Open Sans with a lighter gray for the headers. Excellent for blogs.

[KyleAMathews]

Taken from http://hellohappy.org/beautiful-web-type/ — Big bold Open Sans paired with Gentium Book Basic. Dramatic and very readable.

[KyleAMathews]

Source Sans Pro is hugely popular for building UIs. This configuration setups everything up

[KyleAMathews]

Neuton is another very nice very readable font

[KyleAMathews]

Merriweather is a very nice serif

http://kyleamathews.github.io/typography.js/#/?headerFontFamily=Merriweather&googleHeaderFont=Merriweather&headerFont=Merriweather&bodyFontFamily=Merriweather&googleBodyFont=Merriweather&bodyFont=Merriweather&headerWeight=900&modularScales=diminished%20fourth

[KyleAMathews]

A very airy configuration with 100 weight Lato and Laro with large line spacing

http://kyleamathews.github.io/typography.js/#/?headerWeight=100&modularScales=major%20sixth&bodyGray=40&bodyFontFamily=Lora&googleBodyFont=Lora&bodyFont=Lora&baseFontSize=16px&baseLineHeight=27px

[KyleAMathews]

And a very dense configuration heavy Oswald and PT Sans Narrow combine to really get in your face

http://kyleamathews.github.io/typography.js/#/?headerFontFamily=Oswald&baseFontSize=20px&bodyGray=20&headerWeight=700&googleBodyFont=PT%20Sans%20Narrow&baseLineHeight=24px&bodyFont=PT%20Sans%20Narrow&modularScales=golden&googleHeaderFont=Oswald&bodyFontFamily=PT%20Sans%20Narrow&headerFont=Oswald

[KyleAMathews]

This configuration was inspired by the blogging platform Ghost. A pleasant combination of Open Sans and Merriweather

http://kyleamathews.github.io/typography.js/#/?headerFontFamily=Open%20Sans&baseFontSize=18px&bodyGray=30&headerWeight=700&googleBodyFont=Merriweather&baseLineHeight=31px&bodyFont=Merriweather&googleHeaderFont=Open%20Sans&bodyFontFamily=Merriweather&headerFont=Open%20Sans

Hey just thought I'd let you know, Merriweather example (7th comment above) isn't working... 404 error.

@MeetDom thanks! I changed this repo's name recently and thought I'd updated all the links but missed one :)

Can't configure this easily in the tool yet as can't enter 300 weight for headers but Google's Cloud docs site has very nice typography. 300 weight Open Sans on headers and Roboto for the body.
