Web Fonts And Font Decoration
font-face
Much talk has been made on the web about font-face and whether it՚s a
good thing—especially after the appearance of Typekit and Fontdeck.
The debate is mainly about how much visual clutter this could bring to Web
designs. Some people (the argument goes) aren՚t sufficiently font-savvy to
be able to pull off a design in which they are free to use basically any font
they wish. Wouldn՚t our sensitive designer eyes be safer if only tested,
approved web-safe fonts were used? On whatever side of the argument
you fall, the truth is that the examples of Web sites that use font-face
beautifully are numerous.
Jonathan Snook՚s recently redesigned Web site uses the font-face property.
