Landmark
Landmark, an architectural letter. The signature alphabet of one of New York’s most significant buildings becomes a family of clear and colorful display fonts. For those who understand outdoor lettering as a form of public service, no landmark seems more deserving of its own typeface than Lever House. Designed by Gordon Bunshaft and completed in 1952, Lever House is celebrated for its emphasis on both technological innovation and urban values: it pioneered glass curtain wall construction, the technique that came to define the modern skyscraper, and it used its site to favor aesthetic and social considerations over the raw potential for profit. Pentagram’s Michael Bierut developed an identity system for Lever House as part of the building’s 1999 renovation. In preparation for its release, Hoefler & Co. revisited the original Landmark typeface with additional variations in mind.

A Closer Look At Font Rendering
Advertisement The Web font revolution that started around two years ago has brought up a topic that many of us had merrily ignored for many years: font rendering. The newfound freedom Web fonts are giving us brings along new challenges. While we cannot change which browser and OS our website visitors use, understanding why fonts look the way they do helps us make websites that are successful and comfortable to read in every scenario. Now that we have a great choice of fonts that can be used on websites, it becomes clear that the translation of a design into pixels is not something that happens naturally or consistently. This article presents the mechanisms of type rendering, how they were developed, and how and why they are applied by the various operating systems and browsers—so that when it comes time to choose a font for your next project, you know what to look out for to ensure the quality of the typography is consistently high.

The majority of websites are composed of a bright, usually white background and dark text. Then there's the small minority of the web: dark websites, colorful websites. Why is the bright background used by the majority of websites? Utilitarian Motivation The common use for small caps is for abbreviations longer than 2 letters, such as CSS , HTML and WYSIWYG excluding AM , PM , BC and similar. Research shows that consumers with a utilitarian motivation find a low-arousal environment more pleasurable than a high arousal one. Hedonistic Motivation Hedonism is defined as the pursue of pleasure, especially the pleasure of our senses. Example outside the web: nightclubs.

Bonnes pratiques pour les déclarations @font-face
Petit rappel historique À l’origine, les déclarations CSS @font-face faisaient partie de la norme CSS 2.0 et étaient supportées aussi bien par Internet Explorer 6 que par Netscape 4. Nous étions alors à la fin des années 90 et la guerre entre ces deux navigateurs faisait rage. Malheureusement, les constructeurs ainsi que les fondeurs ne parvinrent pas à se mettre d’accord à l’époque sur un format de fonte et le haut débit n’étant pas encore généralisé, cette technologie ne fut que peu ou pas utilisée. En conséquence, lors de l’écriture de la norme CSS 2.1, cette fonctionnalité fut purement et simplement supprimée. Avec CSS 3, c’est le grand retour en force des fontes web à travers le module CSS Fonts qui redéfinit la méthode d’insertion des fontes personnalisées dans les navigateurs. Déclaration simplifiée Une déclaration simple ressemble à ça : La propriété font-family permet de définir le nom de la fonte tel qu’il sera utilisé par la suite dans les déclarations de style.
