    This week in Sites We Like, a couple ways to brighten the world with plants, soft knittings, and lightweight body text. Garden Tribe Garden Tribe is here for the novice gardeners among us who could use a little more guidance. (Did you know it actually is possible to kill succulents? Anyway.) Futura PT is a great header choice here for bright, no-nonsense labeling, and it pairs nicely with the thin weight of easygoing Macha. Knit for Peace Knit for Peace has another great example of a thinner weight performing nicely in body text. In this case, it’s Museo Sans in use; do the wide, even…

  • Font loading update: All HTTPS, all the time

    1 Sep 2015 | 12:04 pm
    If you opened up the kit editor today, you may have noticed that the default and advanced embed codes have changed. Instead of the protocol-less URL we recommended for years, we now recommend a HTTPS URL only. We’ve also changed our kit JavaScript to load all resources over HTTPS. We’re updating the protocol-less embed code (top) with HTTPS by default (lower). We’ve made this change as a response to the recent vulnerabilities and exploits in the OpenType and TrueType font formats. A malicious attacker could use these vulnerabilities to modify a Typekit font while it is being…

  • WOFF2 support added to Typekit

    Bram Stein
    26 Aug 2015 | 8:53 am
    As part of our ongoing work on improving our web font serving performance, we’re adding support for the WOFF2 font format. The WOFF2 format succeeds the ubiquitous WOFF format and offers better compression than any other font format. Before adopting WOFF2, we’ve extensively tested it on our font library and have seen significant compression gains over WOFF. On average, WOFF2 compresses 30% better than WOFF. The improved compression rates mean smaller font files, which in turn result in faster-loading fonts. Most fonts on Typekit are about 30% smaller with WOFF2 compression, compared to…

    Cette évolution est typique de ces petites start-ups devenues des géantes. Au moment de leur création, les logos de Google et de Facebook ont été conçus “dans le garage”, comme le reste. Il n’y a pas de référentiel pour les pionniers. Google a toujours su jouer avec son logo au fil des événements. Certaines start-ups utilisent des caractères typographiques qui donnent l’impression d’être écrites à la main, pour se donner une image sympa et être bien identifiables.

    11 Sep 2015 | 7:27 am
    Often new photographers and videographers feel that prime lenses should be the first thing they invest in when they decide to transition from their kit lens and better understand their cameras. But what is a Prime Lens? A Prime Lens is a lens with a fixed focal length and aperture that can shoot with wide apertures like F/1.4 or F/1.8 with the latter being the standard.  Because these have a fixed focal length it means you can’t zoom in and out, you’d have to physical move closer or further away. You get high quality shots, the ability to shoot in low light situations, and the…

If this describes you, then you may feel that your contemporaries who are more extroverted may have it easier than you, despite the fact you may work just as hard—or harder. As a creative professional, often your job is to present your employer or client in the best light possible. To put them in a position to market themselves effectively. Being introverted doesn’t mean you lack the skills or mentality necessary to promote yourself effectively, it…

Spontaneous or controlled, this modular typeface enables a user to construct various simple or complex shapes into letterforms. Conceptually, this font is a type treatment that both subverts a kit-of-parts and subverts parts into a kit.
