What are some of the most important advances you see in web typography today? A lot of the bleeding-edge progress has slowed down, and the technology has become more stable. There are still strange inconsistencies across browsers and platforms, but by and large, we have a relatively stable environment to set some truly great web type.
How has responsive web design challenged the principles of typography? Typography is at the heart of any decent website. When responsive web design came about, we saw a lot of people making their sites flex and bend, yet completely forget about how that affected line length. Suddenly you had all these ridiculously long lines that were impossible to read.
Now, designers are starting to rein that in. My approach to web design—certainly for long-form reading—is to focus almost entirely on the measure [the length of a line of text] and to adjust whenever the measure becomes too long or too short. That might also mean changing the leading, the font size and, perhaps, even the weight. Creating an optimal reading experience online is a challenge that really gets me excited at the moment.
What techniques and technologies must be addressed in the future? More and more people have access to great typefaces because Typekit is pioneering the idea of synced fonts, a great library of quality type you can draw from as part of your Creative Cloud subscription. More stable OpenType feature support is still on the horizon, and online type justification is still in its infancy.
The Knuth-Plass line- breaking algorithm—which is used by apps like InDesign—needs to be implemented natively in browsers. What are your three favorite typefaces? I picked eight for the final issue of 8 Faces , and that was hard enough! Do I really get just three? I love how robust the entire Tabac family is: each style has so much personality, but remains completely pleasurable to read, not too full of character.
Quatro is just so playful, with unusual forms—like the wonderful k —and Skolar is an incredibly reliable body face, especially for the web. Picture Information Free postage. Mouse over to zoom - Click to enlarge. Have one to sell? Sell it yourself.
