Kind of a rant, but a meaty one, on Nice Web Type celebrating all the good that web font movement and its supporters did last year. “In short: Stop writing, ‘Thanks to web font services like Typekit, Fontdeck, Kernest…’ The real thanks goes to designers who decide to use web fonts, people who open their minds to type as a valuable web asset, people who share what they learn, type foundries sweating the details, and the folks moving WOFF forward.”
Have you come across something amazing and typography-related online? Let me know! If I include it in an upcoming edition of TypoTh, I’ll gladly give you credit.
