Is Google AdSense testing out new formats again? Folks at Technospot spotted a different AdSense block on the blog and this time, it’s nothing to do with positioning, instead, it’s a different font.
We all know AdSense allows ads customization. Publishers get to change the ad text colors but never the font type. A large rectangular AdSense block with Comic Sans font type was displayed earlier in Technospot today. Comic Sans is amongst standard font type that most platforms will have. Other examples of font type that can be properly displayed cross platforms are Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Century Gothic, etc.
Is this a sign that Google AdSense will allow font type customization in future? Well, if they do it’d certainly be something really interesting. Imagine a blog using Georgia throughout with AdSense blocks using Georgia font type – a perfect blend. There’s no news yet from folks at Google AdSense, but we’ll be watching.

I think it would be a nice next step for Google Adsense. It’s possible to customize the font color, the shape of the ad, you can choose how big you want it, so, why not the font type?
ReplyAnd it definitely makes it a perfect blend, as you say.

I’ve seen the new font few weeks ago. But it’s bigger font size of Google ads title instead of font type.

@Ramy If I’m not wrong, there’s no option to change font size, premium publishers perhaps.
ReplyRamy June 20th, 2008
@ Hongkiat, I mean the size of the ad itself, not of the text. :)

This site had customized the ads – a serif “Ads by Google” and Century Gothic/Avant Garde face for the ad.
