Typography is More than Just Fonts and Text Size

Monday November 23, 2009
You can tell a website designer who cares about typography when they take the time to use things like curly quotes and em dashes instead of " and -- in their text. This article, Typography on the Web is About the Little Details, covers some of the details you might be missing that could improve your site's typography.

Type is the backbone of good web design

Sunday November 22, 2009

Lately, I've been getting into calligraphy in my art. I've gotten obsessed with how the letters are formed and how to draw them effectively. In fact, I find that most of the art I'm doing tends to deal with letters in some fashion. And it's fun to use type decoratively. What's interesting is that I hadn't really thought too much about this when it comes to Web design. Sure, I have lots of information on my site about fonts and typography, but even though I put it together with my offline designs, I didn't make the connection to online.

Then I found this post on The Design Cubicle: Type is the backbone of good web design. In it, Brian discusses many simple ways to improve your designs just through how the type is displayed. I love it!
