Webfont embedding is so widely supported by modern browsers at this point that there’s really no excuse not to incorporate them when appropriate in your designs. There are hundreds of free fonts available for embedding, as well as plenty of paid services that allow you to include commercial fonts in your designs.

A lot of designers, it seems, are intimidated by the idea of @font-face embedding though. Even though it’s been gaining popularity and support for the past couple of years, a lot of designers still stick to their usual collection of web safe fonts for the vast majority of their designs.

When picking a service like this, make sure you find a company that either provides samples of their work or a money-back guarantee (preferably both). A non-disclosure agreement is also a good idea, especially if you’re using them for client work. Read more
