Tracking The Move From Print To The Networked Screen. A Fond Goodbye To Donna Summer. May 17, 2012. A lot of people looked down their noses at the Queen of Disco because, well, because she sang disco. But they secretly dug Donna anyway. You could tell. Great tunes. Great beat. And a great voice for it. The seventies wouldn’t have been “The Seventies” without Donna Summer. (Alright, add a sprinkle of Barry Gibb, and let’s call it a decade.).

Tracking The Move From Print To The Networked Screen. Feb 8, 2014. Around a year ago, I remember reading the article The Era Of Symbol Fonts. On A List Apart.

Tracking The Move From Print To The Networked Screen. A Drag and Drop Web Font Tester. Dec 20, 2013. It’s been over a year since I posted anything here. I’ll be keeping posts short, with an emphasis on bits of news related to the world of online readability – especially web fonts, the technology into which I’ve gotten knee deep. If someone had told me five years ago I would be spending a lot of time with FontLab, I would have said, “Huh? 8221; But life is weird and wonderful.). Some Wood Font Specimens.

Tracking The Move From Print To The Networked Screen. Some Wood Font Specimens. Dec 21, 2013. I ran across this page of scanned wood type somewhere in my virtual travels:. I very much like the style of some of them but beyond that, as a technologist, it’s got me wondering how to provide appropriately weighted glyphs for the characters that are missing from these sets. A treatment of the font-weight fallback problem at the blog of designer Elliot Jay Stocks here:. Font Weight In The Age Of Web Fonts.
