Web Typography

Let’s talk a little about type design. Designers are always exploring in different ways with type, trying to communicate their ideas in attractive way.
In web design we can play with fonts, but many times we have also to make it carefully.

Today, there are a lot of tools, apps and advices to work better with fonts online.
I’ll post some interesting links about this theme…
(via Smashing Magazine and Specky Boy )

How to choose a font?

Make your choice with Type Tester, an online application that allows you to test different typefaces.
Try it.

How to use a font that is not standard for web?

Every time we had to use a typeface that is not standard for web, we create images or use Flash just to show the font we want on the website.
Here is a Javascript method that allows you to embed custom fonts in your pages.
Try it.

How to make a amazing tag cloud?

Wordle is an app for generating “word clouds” from the text that you provide.
You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.

Css iPhone

An interesting website where iphone sites are collected.

They say: “CSSiPhone.com is very basic right now…when I launched it [end of Nov 08] I wasn’t sure what type of impact it would have, or even if it was too early for such a gallery. Anyway, if things go great and people love this site I will eventually build more of a community into it.”

Have a look!

Animazioni html/javascript/css

Esistono un sacco di siti animati in modo decisamente funzionale e bello, che però non utilizzano tecnologia flash. Quello del codice è un mondo da scoprire.

Ormai sempre di più capita di avere richieste per soluzioni che siano una via di mezzo tra un sito appealing/animato e la possibilità di indicizzarlo.  Sembra un argomento da approfondire e che merita una sua propia nuova categoria (css/javascript).

Alcuni esempi riusciti molto bene:

Gucci (il precursore), Diesel/Adidas (uscito da poco).

Sapete se per caso esiste un equivalente di FWA per questo tipo di siti?
