Review of Popular Web Font Embedding Services
Advertisement In the mid-80s the desktop publishing revolution began with the introduction of the Mac Plus, Aldus PageMaker and the Apple LaserWriter printer. It took quite a few years for these tools to make an impact on the design and publishing world, but once they did, there was no looking back. In 2010 we see a similar revolution starting to take shape with web fonts. Web font services, like Typekit and now the Google Font API, have captured a lot of attention. While all of these services are unique, they each provide a tool for web designers and developers to legally display professional fonts on their website. Typekit Typekit, Inc. is a popular web font service from Small Batch Inc and founder Jeffrey Veen. Font Selection 4000 (about half of these are through the Typekit library, and the other half via licensing arrangements with foundries who sell their own web licences) Advantages Over Other Services Strong platform integrations.

Adobe Love I CAME to AdobeMAX in Los Angeles to give a talk to a room full of designers. Before arriving, I thought of Adobe as a historically important 20th century company that was slowly leaking relevance—a company web designers in the era of responsive design have begun to think of with a combination of fondness and embarrassment, like a beloved but somewhat shameful old uncle. I came to LA with those perceptions, but I leave with the impression of an exciting 21st century company in emergence. Realistic products for a magical age The products I saw were both amazing and realistic. That was the amazing part, but the equally important realistic part was that nobody was pretending this tool would be used to deliver final code on your website. We are now them More than that. It makes me feel good about the future, when so many other things conspire to make us feel the opposite.

Loading Typekit fonts asynchronously
Update: We now offer an official asynchronous embed code through the Kit Editor, so you no longer have to create your own. Details are available in this blog post. The standard Typekit embed code has many advantages. It’s simple, compact, very easy to implement, and automatically helps to prevent the flash of unstyled text (or FOUT). These advantages make it the right choice for the vast majority of sites. The asynchronous loading patterns that we’ll discuss in this post provide a useful alternative in situations where you must eliminate any possibility that a problem loading the kit could interfere with loading the rest of the page. In fact, we use the font events asynchronous pattern described below on the Typekit status blog to ensure that our users can reliably read about our system status, even during a font network outage or degradation. Standard Typekit embed code Typekit’s standard embed code is just a simple pair of <script> tags. Standard asynchronous pattern How to use it:
