Tailored Type for Screens
Dan RhatiganIn this look at how fonts really look on screens, Monotype's Dan Rhatigan will look at new typefaces developed specifically to enhance the experience of reading text on screens, as well as the features that you should considering when evaluating and specifying type for digital projects. Learn about: * How the appearance of fonts differs from one kind of device to another, and why * The top things you need to know that will influence your type selection * How the design of classic typefaces can be adapted to preserve their tone with enhanced clarity for a screen environment * How to spot new and classic etext designs that have been reengineered specifically for screen reading * Why testing fonts live on screen and building project specifications will help with responsive designs.
