exljbris
Dutchman Jos Buivenga already had an impressive following when he and his foundry, exljbris, joined MyFonts in 2008. For years, his online friends and fans were able to witness and comment on the development of his typefaces on his website and download the beta versions at no cost at all. When he transformed his free site into a one-man foundry, he debuted his first commercial typeface in an unprecedented, and ultimately, very successful way. His generosity paid off. And with that, his foundry took off. Considering the enormous success that the self-taught designer has seen, it’s amazing to think that his career started off with just simple intrigue.
Chronicle Text
Chronicle, a “blended Scotch.” A vigorous hybrid of time-honored forms and contemporary design strategies, Chronicle Text is a new suite of high-performance text faces that brings strength and utility to the classic serif. Seriffed text faces are often casually grouped into two major divisions: wholehearted Old Styles, which vaguely reference their calligraphic origins, and steely Moderns, whose highly rational designs aspire to mathematical precision. Old Styles are prized for their warmth, which they achieve through heavily bracketed serifs and a policy of planned inconsistencies (an Old Style’s lowercase c and o are thickest in different places, for example.) Bridging these extremes is the Transitional style, which combines the energy and ardor of Old Styles with the sobriety and adaptability of Moderns. The Style Revisited

The future of web fonts | Features
The web type revolution began in late 2009, but it is over the last year that the discipline has matured into a far more complete tool. All web browsers are proudly boasting their typographic capabilities as CSS3 continues to both evolve and stabilise. We’ve seen the arrival of some fantastic typefaces either optimised for, or specifically designed for the screen , and we’ve also seen some pretty good screens arrive on the market. As web designers, we do all of our typographic work – our typesetting in particular – in CSS. For example, the following code snippet can be used to send a style sheet to a device with screen no bigger than 480px (such as a mobile phone): 001 < link rel=”stylesheet” media=”screen and (max-device-width: 480px)” href=”mobile.css” type=”text/css” /> And with that, we are able to provide different typesetting guidelines for small devices than for widescreen desktop screens (provided the reader’s software supports media queries, of course).

60 Brilliant Typefaces For Corporate Design
Advertisement Typography is more than being legible and looking good. Among other things, effective typography manages to achieve two important objectives: a) to create an appropriate atmosphere and enable users to develop trust toward the site and b) to make sure visitors get the main message of the site and (if possible) become interested in the services offered on the site. Since written text is the most efficient instrument to communicate with visitors precisely and directly, the power of typography shouldn’t be underestimated. To communicate effectively, typography requires appropriate typefaces. Last year we’ve presented 80 Beautiful Typefaces For Professional Design, a selection of excellent typefaces one should be aware of when developing web-sites.

Typography Is The Foundation Of Web Design
Advertisement For years you have been searching for it. You hear the question being asked in your dreams as you go on an Indiana-Jones-type-crusade to find the answer. What is the secret to Web design? A tough question and one that might not have an answer. Of course typography doesn’t mean font selection. More toys means more fun though, right? I’m not being sarcastic, saying that is all you need to know for a majority of websites. Information Architects is based around strong typography. One of my all time favorite designs is A Working Library. A Working Library by Mandy Brown. Some people find design like this to be dull and boring, they feel that design should have more pop to it. Well That Isn’t Hard It’s possible to create a wonderful design without the use of images at all. With the use of images I’m not talking about images that are needed to represent something such as icons, but images that are there for flare. Blake Allen Design uses images, but with great typography. (jvb)

Folio web font family
Folio is a realist sans-serif typeface designed by Konrad Bauer and Walter Baum in 1957 for the Bauersche Gießerei (in English: Bauer foundry). Bauer licensed the design to Fonderie Typographique Francaise for sale in France under the name Caravelle. Like Helvetica and Univers, which were also released at the same time, it is part of the International Typographic Style and modeled after Akzidenz-Grotesk. Some distinguishing features of the typeface are the capital Q's tail is centered under the figure, the uppercase J has a slight hook, and there are two versions of uppercase R, one with a straight tail and one with a curved tail. Folio is a trademark of Bauer Types registered in the US Patent and Trademark Office and may be registered in other jurisdictions.
