Let Me See Your Typographic Inspirations
I’m underway writing my next book, Fluid Web Typography: A Guide , which will be out this fall. As with Speaking in Styles: The Fundamentals of CSS for Web Designers , I’ll be doing the layout myself. I got some input on the cover, but it’s not completely mine this time.
I’ve been collecting a lot of Web sites to use in the new book to show off the best in Web typography, but I’m looking for more. If you have a site you are particularly proud of, or can suggest one, take a look at my criteria below, and then add a comment after this article with a link to the site or (if you want to keep it private) use my contact form to send me the link.
What I’m looking for:
- Good use of typography in an attractive Web design (obviously). This includes typefaces, contrast, scale, motion, rhythm, and composition.
- Use of fonts other than the core Web fonts. Anyone using fonts from the Web-safe fonts list or using @font-face to download fonts would be best.
- No or limited use of type in images. I want to concentrate on typography set using text in HTML.
- No or limited use of Flash for typography. Some Flash for videos is OK, but I’m not looking for typography in Flash
- Recent. The newer the better.
The sites I get that fit my criteria will be considered for use in Fluid Web Typography and receive a copy of the book when it comes out.
