Hoefler & Frere-Jones Blog: "I have a special affection for decorated letters, especially the ornamented designs of the nineteenth century. You know the kind: they're chubby Regency typefaces, slab serifs or high-contrast ‘Fat Faces,’ mostly, whose surfaces are emblazoned with intricate patterns or pastoral scenes." Me too JH, Me too.

Information Architects do not disappoint with this pretty thorough overview on the subject of designing for the Apple iPad.

Check out these brilliant keynote videos from TYPOBerlin. The talks by Martin Majoor (the creator of one of my favourite typefaces — Scala) and the brilliant Jonathan Hoefler & Tobias Frere-Jones are a must watch. The presentations are from years gone by but they're still completely relevant… if not more so nowadays, given the sudden influx of typefaces at a web-designers disposal owing to Typekit and other @font-face platforms.

"The Type and Media masters program has a long history at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague. Currently, the ten-month course is divided into two distinct parts, and limited to eleven students a year. The first five months comprise eight different weekly classes that expose students to numerous fundamental aspects of the type design process. The second half of the course is focused mainly on the development of individual final projects."

Jason Santa Maria on A List Apart: "As more typefaces hit the scene, we need to understand how they can best serve our designs, and to push ourselves to move beyond mere novelty in our selections. If much of the web is made up of text—and it is—web typography can be a very powerful tool indeed."

Wilson Miner comments on his sand-box: "I started this site as an excuse to experiment with design and CSS. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the writing as well. It’s nice to have a place to record and share those stories and observations."

Wilson Miner writes about sizing fonts in CSS — "Design for the ideal, build for flexibility".

Wilson Miner: "After years of wondering why browsers defaulted to 16pt text sizes I’m starting to be convinced that long text really is significantly more readable on screen at precisely that size."

The gentleman that is Tim Brown (who was kind enough to invite me on to Dribbble) recently posted on A List Apart about his 'Web Font Specimen' resource. WFS allows for designers to see how typefaces imported via @font-face render in web-browsers.

With LAIKA, there is finally a font that can seamlessly use the whole spectrum of its cuts. A font that is able to move between its extremes in real time. An interactive font that is able to respond to its surroundings. A font that questions deadlocked dogmas and throws up completely new design questions, and thus has the potential to revolutionise the understanding of digital typography.

Via iA: Most websites are crammed with small text that’s a pain to read. Why? There is no reason for squeezing so much information onto the screen. It’s just a stupid collective mistake that dates back to a time when screens were really, really small.

Via iA: "95% of the information on the web is written language. It is only logical to say that a web designer should get good training in the main discipline of shaping written information, in other words: Typography."

Just—My—Type™ is a side project of designer Jakob Nylund / Formconspiracy. All typefaces are free to download and free to use without any restrictions.
