CSS3, Web fonts and Typekit

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

It’s getting easier and easier for designers to make use of a wide variety of fonts in their Web projects. This is due to advances in CSS3, including the @font-face declaration, which in turn has led to the development of Typekit, a font “broker” of sorts.

I’m giving short presentation on the subject tonight to the New Hampshire Usability Professionals Association. Here are some recent, relevant links on the topic:

Quite a character, that ampersand…

CSS wizard Dan Cederholm has an interesting post on the use of the ampersand. It includes handy charts of the ampersands available by default on the Max OS X, Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems.

Speaking of fonts, Joshua Darden has a bunch of interesting offerings, including the brand new Jubilat, used by An Event Apart 2008. His Birra Stout is a free font, if you’d like to give that a whirl. Great looking ampersands in these sets – see ‘em here.
