Getting the Hang of Web Typography

The implications of desktop publishing, where anybody who has access to a computer can set type, have led to a flood of poorly designed brochures, flyers and web pages. In web design especially illegible text, incorrect use of punctuation marks and inappropriate font combinations or use of line widths are frequent. The new techniques that web fonts offer — much hailed by some and dreaded by others — might bring about even worse examples of ugly and illegible web typography.

In order to avoid this, we have dedicated this e-book to web workers that are dealing with typography in their daily lives, but have no special training for this independent craft. Getting the Hang of Web Typography is a collection of Smashing Magazine’s best and most recent articles on web typography with one additional article series and glossary. You can use this e-book as reference work and inspiration.

It’s a valuable book read that helps you to create rich, sophisticated Web sites with beautiful and elegant Web typography.
