Responsive Typography: An Introduction
Ever since I began studying graphic design I’ve loved type and typography. When real web fonts started to become available, particularly with the launch of Adobe Typekit in 2009, web design changed for me practically overnight. In truth, after over 15 years designing and developing for the web, it became fun again. Great typography and typefaces can bring so much to the design of a site that it’s practically a whole new profession. But even with this quantum shift in what’s possible in web design, there persists a lack of awareness and print resources to help designers and developers navigate the new landscape. This book is meant to change that.
When I started work on this book, my intent was to create a resource for designers and developers to help them implement web fonts effectively. I certainly intended to provide some typography basics and a bit of the history of type on the web, but that was about it. What’s happened in the interim has led me to change focus a bit. My research and use of web fonts developed alongside my adoption and practice of Responsive Web Design (see the following sidebar), and after a time some significant similarities and relationships began to emerge.
