8 Interesting Typography Links for January 2022
I've recently compiled a collection of fascinating typography resources, and I wanted to share some highlights. These links offer valuable insights and practical applications for anyone working with type.
- Output Sans Goes Variable: David Jonathan Ross's Output typeface, a reliable workhorse, is being updated as a variable font. This initiative aims to make variable fonts more accessible and practical for everyday use, moving beyond their experimental perception.
-
Optimizing Line Lengths: Shawn's suggestion to use
max-width: 69ch
for blog content is a simple yet effective way to improve readability. Oliver Schöndorfer's recent research on line length further supports this approach. -
Dynamic Line Heights with "calc": Explore Josh's custom CSS reset, which cleverly uses
calc()
to manage line height consistently for both body text and headings. - Celebrating Women in Type: The University of Reading's "Women in Type" website is a must-see. It sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of women to the development of renowned typefaces throughout the 20th century.
- Retail Typeface from OH no Type Company: This humanist sans-serif typeface is a testament to focusing on timeless design rather than fleeting trends.
- Top Google Fonts for 2022: Google Fonts remains a popular choice due to its ease of use and free access to a wide range of custom fonts. The platform's improvements in usability and performance, coupled with new additions like Space Grotesk (and those highlighted in the Typewolf newsletter, Readex Pro & Spline Sans), make it even more appealing.
- Comprehensive Google Fonts Guide: Elliot Jay Stocks' extensive resource, "Google Fonts Knowledge," offers over 30 lessons across three modules ("Introducing Type," "Choosing Type," and "Using Type") and a glossary of over 100 definitions.
- Fluid Typography Generators: Adrian Bece's fluid typography generator provides a visual representation of type scaling, similar to Andy's Consistent, Fluidly Scaling Type and Spacing. Aleksandr Hovhannisyan's Fluid Type Scale Calculator might be even more practical for project setup, offering a broader range of customizable properties.
