Universal Typography
Conference talk at Smashing Conference
· 49 min
The web is universal, and in this talk from Smashing Conference 2014, Tim Brown, Head of Typography for Adobe Typekit and Adobe Type, shows how to practise typography in a way that is equally universal.
Focusing on traditional typographic principles while also embracing progressive enhancement, Brown explains how fonts, CSS, web-enabled devices and user contexts coexist. The talk reevaluates what it means to set type successfully on the web and aims to inform routine decisions about typefaces, font sizes and white space.
