Typography: Type on the web

Using Fount I have identified a few fonts I've found aesthetically pleasing and easy to read with on different webpages.  A few examples are below:


ClarendonFSregular is a readable serif typeface that has modern characteristics such as thicker brackets/serifs suggesting a more slab serif face.  This works well in body copy with a larger line height to balance out the more extended letterforms.



Function prolight is an unusual typeface that can be hard to read continuously in a long article however works well for headings and captions.  It's used often on the iD magazine website.



For a headline in a much larger font size, Harriet Display consists of delicate letterforms which works well for a heading if contrasts with the typeface used for the accompanying body copy.



These may be of use as reference if I design any webpages in the future, or for my personal website.
