Code Examples and Links for "Type Is Design" talk.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE CONFERENCE.

Type + UX

Periodic Table of HTML Elements https://madebymike.github.io/html5-periodic-table/

Web Font Services

Google Fonts

Lots of options, but some of the fonts are limited in style, or are copies of more well known paid fonts. You can typically find something here that works well for any app or site. Manually include styles and weights through the CSS link call. Includes downloadable versions as well for local work & design. https://fonts.google.com/

Adobe Web Fonts (part of Creative Cloud)

Requires a subscription to Adobe CC, but has many OpenType font options with lots of glyphs and features. Will sync to your local machine via the CC Utility. https://fonts.adobe.com/

Typography.com (Hoefler & Co)

My personal favorite Type Foundry, but requires purchasing individual fonts to use on their custom service. No monthly fees (just your initial font purchase) https://www.typography.com/

MyFonts

Great selection but will require you to self host. No monthly fees. https://www.myfonts.com/licensing/webfont/

Linotype

Famous font foundry with many styles and classics. Pay once or pay as you go options. https://www.linotype.com/7026/web-fonts-directly-from-linotypecom.html
