There has been a lot of buzz lately about webfonts. The new WOFF proposal is a step in the right direction, but getting your head around things is like herding cats. Thankfully Technology Review has published a nice article summarizing things. A Note on the Type: Font designers imagine a better-looking Web. If this article is too much I recommend H&FJ’s recent Show and Tell entry: FONTS ON THE WEB. It is distilled goodness.

Most of the talks that we’ve given are lost to the sands of time, but this afternoon I was happy to discover that one of our favorite presentations lives on. For the AIGA Design Conference in Denver, we were asked to meditate on the topic of “What’s Next,” for which we presented a study of typographic history — and why the ‘historical revival’ might be a twentieth century idea whose time has passed.

Saw this at Typetrust yesterday. Silas Dilworth’s excellent Breuer typeface had added a condensed version. Breur Text always seemed to me to be a more versatile Klavika.
Breuer Condensed — 8 weights on sale for $144.

An excellent new site covering the prolific Paul Rand. Of note is the excellent coverage of his editorial design work with Apparel Arts.
