Awesome Web Typography @SXSW

Richard Rutter of fontdeck.com taught a class about web typography at SXSW'13He showed us some great examples of when and how to tweak your typography with HTML and CSS.

A few things I learned:

  • adjusting auto-hyphenation
  • responsive web design - adjusting for line length, line breaks, etc. when on different sized screens
  • how to handle multiple columns
  • proportional/tabular/lining/old style
  • how to choose font faces for the web
  • options for loading custom fonts so that the experience is good even on slow internet connections
