You guys, if you want to have a well designed website, fonts make the most impact with the least resistance. That doesn’t stop people from using the same old fonts that use Helvetica.

This talk will give some hints about tools you can use to make your websites look most excellent – or at the very least – different from a WordPress default theme. We’ll go over:

– Why system fonts can be played out
– Things type designers look for (line heights, spacing, kerning)
– CSS3 properties that make fonts even more awesome
– How people used to do this before: images (boo!), cufon, etc.
– Tools that are awesome: Google Fonts, TypeKit, Typecast, kerning.js
