Finding the best way to implement type on the web these days is no simple task. The options for good-looking, functional online fonts are limited, and issues of licensing are complicated. But as more and more design is created for the web, the importance of great type online—and the need for it—is only growing.

In this live webcast, type designer Christian Schwartz will address the pressing problem of type for the web. He’ll provide a comprehensive overview of what’s at stake, and shed light on how you, as a designer, can navigate the world of web fonts and find the best solutions for your own work.

You’ll learn:

• The pros and cons of the different ways to implement non-standard type choices on the web
• Why @font-face still isn’t ready for prime time
• Plus: A peek at the future of type on the web

The new issue of London-based Kilimanjaro is out. This time, the poster-size publication is featuring works from beloved William Burroughs & Gregor Muir – among others.

First published in 2003, Kilimanjaro Magazine is an art and photography magazine produced independently from London. With its signature semiotic covers and innovative format, Kilimanjaro speaks to a global creative community; an ‘art thirsty’ target audience seemingly tired of beautiful but empty publications. With back-to-back creative talent, an evolving broadsheet format and cutting edge design Kilimanjaro has established itself as an art magazine offering a point of creative difference.
