Typography Thursday 5.19.11

May 19th, 2011  |  typography

Another round of typographic goodness from around the web.


Jewelry: TypeRings

TypeRings lets you create striking engraved designs on the outside and inside of a ring. You can choose typefaces from the Underware font foundry or upload your own custom design. Their slick 3D ring designer lets you preview the result before you buy. (via Design Milk)


Web Tool: FitText

FitText is a jQuery plugin for inflating web type. It makes your font sizes flexible for fluid or responsive layouts and scalable headlines that fill the width of a parent element. Translation: gorgeous, gigantic display text no matter how it’s viewed. Very cool. (via The Typekit Blog)
