Introducing Typekit

28 May 2009

That’s where Typekit comes in. We’ve been working with foundries to develop a consistent web-only font linking license. We’ve built a technology platform that lets us to host both free and commercial fonts in a way that is incredibly fast, smoothes out differences in how browsers handle type, and offers the level of protection that type designers need without resorting to annoying and ineffective DRM.

This sounds great in theory. They are promising magic however, so I will believe it when I see it. Also, it looks like they might be relying on @font-face which really doesn’t have enough browser support at this time. Hopefully they’ve solved all these problem, though…
