Type Specimens, Curated
John D. Jameson has put together typespecimens.io, a site that rounds up the latest type specimen websites for anyone hunting for a new typeface. The collection spans the full range of design sensibilities, from loud and adventurous to more polished and understated.
The site is packed with typefaces that are both on display and available to buy, but the specimen sites themselves are just as impressive. A current standout is Grilli Type’s page for GT America, which leans on bright colors, playful illustrations, and smooth animations that don't overdo it.
It’s a sharp demonstration of how much you can accomplish with a restrained palette and one strong typeface. If you're browsing, it's also worth a look through Grilli Type's full catalog, which has plenty more to sift through.
