We are proud to announce our partnership with webfont service FontDeck, bringing you VirusFonts for the web for the first time. With exciting new developments in browser technology, no longer are you restricted to the choice of a handful of typefaces that are installed on your computer. That means you can use VirusFonts on your website to bring a unique, esoteric or subversive typographic voice to your online presence.

Easy and Free to use

FontDeck is easy to use; with just a few lines of CSS you can link to a font and display text in the typeface you require. As FontDeck hosts the font files, all the different browser complications are handled and the latest version of each font is delivered quickly and reliably from their worldwide network of servers.

If you are a designer or developer wanting to test out fonts, you can try any number of fonts for free on your local machine, development environment or staging server. Once you’re ready to go live, you can license individual fonts at competitive prices.
