FF Subsetter - Optimize your Web FontFont
Web FontFonts speak many languages, but most of the time you only need a select few. Removing the letters you don’t need can greatly reduce the font file size to make your websites faster, optimize bandwidth usage, and reduce high-traffic costs.
Frustro: The Impossible Typeface | Jeannie Huang
Hungarian designer Martzi Hegedűs has created a single typeface, titled Frustro , on the sole premise of making it impossible. Based on the illusion of the Penrose triangle (which is by definition, an impossible object whose creator deemed it “impossibility in its purest form”) the type appears to be facing two different directions simultaneously. His diagram explaining the structure of the Frustro “R” is the highlight of his display– it neatly puts together top left and bottom right corners of two 3D renderings of the letter, making it clear how he imagined each letter as an extension of the Penrose triangle. Fascinating– I only wish this was available for download, it looks like a typographer’s dream (or perhaps) nightmare come true. [Via Jon Lee. ]

OpenType (OT) is a cross-platform type format that includes expert layout features to provide richer linguistic support and advanced typographic control. Using OT technology you can substitute your characters for different glyphs 1 using many different methods; Ligatures, Small Caps, Oldstyle Figures, Fractions, Superscript/Subscript, Ordinals, Alternates, Titling Characters and many more. Small-cap glyphs are smaller versions of normal-cap glyphs. They have many uses, but are generally used to prevent capitalised words from appearing too large when set alongside lowercase text. Another OT feature called Small Capitals From Capitals will substitute both uppercase and lowercase glyphs with small-caps and is commonly used with acronyms or abbreviations that are set amongst lowercase text.
