The rise of web fonts has given way to a broader understanding- and respect- for typography, typefaces and the way text is displayed online.
Typography is an essential part of visual design — and as any print publisher will tell you, the way that text is arranged and displayed can have an enormous impact on how its message is presented and interpreted.
Although typography entered the digital age long ago, it’s only been in the last few years that we’ve really seen advanced typography and typesetting take off online. This is, in large part, thanks to broad browser support for CSS3 and web font standards, the rise of web font services like Typekit (which was recently acquired by Adobe) and the increasing adoption of mobile devices like smartphones, tablets and ereaders.
