Cross-browser kerning-pairs & ligatures. CSS3 Transforms & @font-face Experiment | neography. Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 This is the first of what I hope are num­ber of exper­i­ments I plan on work­ing on over the next few months, all in an effort to get acquain­ted with some of the new CSS3 fea­tures out in the wild that seem to be gain­ing some traction. The last few months have been pretty excit­ing, with all the talk about new CSS3 fea­tures and how browsers are adding sup­port for them, it’s a great time to be a designer for the web. It’s a lot easier these days to exper­i­ment with dif­fer­ent typefaces, lay­outs and tech­niques pre­vi­ously not available. Take a look at the image below: No, it’s not a poster. It’s a web page com­pletely designed using basic CSS and new CSS3 tech­niques. Pretty impress­ive right? How’s it done? Pretty easy actu­ally, I used basic CSS pos­i­tion­ing and some of the newer CSS3 fea­tures to put it together.
