10 Best Examples of CSS for Amazing Typography Designs

Typefaces change the perception or your design. If you choose the right typeface with ideal font weight, line height, size, and color as well as perfect padding and position, this is already 50% of success.

If you run your website on WordPress, you can use Additional CSS tab in Live Customizer to insert custom CSS and change the appearance of definite elements of your WP theme including logo, texts in your articles, background color of your post pages, etc.

I’ve collected a number of typography code snippets you can use as custom CSS in your Customizer for changing the look of your website’s logo. In the tables under each snapshot you will see the original CSS, but the snapshots themselves show that I’ve changed font sizes a bit to make them match my logo. So, enjoy!
