Getting Started
It’s a big internet out there. Whether you’re brushing up on the latest techniques or seeking the best foundation as you begin to study web design and typography, great resources make all the difference. Here are a few I recommend.
Nice Web Type likes
Bello and Proxima Nova
Besides seeing a filthy new CSS technique (a pure CSS text gradient – no PNGs), you’ll find my thoughts about (and examples of) mixing script display type with more understated body text, using the best available ampersand, and the latest CSS browser support from Apple’s Safari browser.
Museo and Sans
My thoughts about (and examples of) typographic color, font stack understudies, combining serif and sans typefaces, and subtle suggestions about typesetting Museo and Museo Sans specifically. You’ll also find a few display-size techniques you might be able to use in your next project.
Graublau Sans with Lucdia sanserif
The inaugural web type specimen/review here at Nice Web Type pairs a versatile web favorite, Lucida sanserif, with one of the first (of many) typefaces available for @font-face linking online: Graublau Sans. View and download the specimen, and enjoy this typeface combination thoroughly. It seems to me both practical and sharp.
