Amazing! Garamond, Cooper Black and Myriad just became web-safe fonts.
(First person to use Trajan on a website gets a crotch-punch, though)
Super-simple typeface designer for iPad. Touch interface to sketch your font, then it uploads it to a website for sharing.
The smartest thing the Android team ever did
Looking at the screenshots of the forthcoming release of Android, I can’t help but notice one thing.
The typography.
More than anything, what draws my eye and makes it clear that I’m looking at an Android screen, not an iPhone, is the beautifully designed, decidedly not-Helvetica, typeface.

Amazingly clever piece of hackery. Embed fonts seamlessly in your pages in a manner that works with all released major browsers (including iPhone), but degrades gracefully. Need to do some playing with this…

Interesting collection of word designs that read the same forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards, etc.
So farewell then, Garamond Italic and Helvetica Black.
