On Tan
Jon Tan is one of the finest minds in web typography. Not because he “gets” the craft of markup/style (he does) or the art of typography (again, he does); rather, Jon shares what he learns—through both writing and doing. He makes examples and supplements, and is respectful of, and thorough about, informational sources. See Jon’s typography posts and his silo.
Jon recently announced a change in employment, writing:
“I’ll have a little more time to get involved with all of the discussions around web design and typography. I will write more, perhaps give a few more talks if folks are kind enough to invite me.”
Now’s the time, folks. If you don’t already, follow Jon on Twitter, subscribe to his blog, and welcome him back.
Thanks for the links, Tim! I just finished reading all of his typography posts and I loved them, especially the one about paragraph styling.
I’ll add his feed to my RSS reader so as not to miss any of his following posts :)
Regards,
Gonzalo
Until now I really had no idea that Jon Tan is one of the finest minds in web typography, so I will probably search for more info about this talented person.

I still find him to be one of the most influential web typographers. The interactive intelligence that is involved in his work is inspiring.
