At a seminar about the future of Ebooks, where Charles Nix talked about the need for setting up Kindles and its kissin'kuzzins with better typography—including setting type flush left. Not long after, the Type Director's Club had an event about fonts on the web. The type visionary Roger Black (who was one of the responders to Liz Castro's post), showed websites from the 1990s that looked ... shall I say ... primitive. There's no easy solution to devices or sites yet, BUT it seems that it's a crucial part of the iPad etc experience. As a greater percentage of material comes to the small screen—especially the highly-visual stuff—typography just HAS to evolve. <br /><br />Interesting about Dante. I was just looking at it the other day (but no, I haven't used it). I did use Minion lately on a traditional book and can see why it would be amont Castro's offerings; Minion is very sturdy and can hold its on in pixels.Beth Tondreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066391243260294419noreply@blogger.com
