It’s not often that I do tribute posts, it’s not often that I look up so much to people of my field, A-listers (what a slimey expression) or not.
Last night I read (actually read, not skimmed) the presentation of mr. Jeff Croft for the Future Of Web Design 2007 conference, which is called “Elegant Typography” (warning, .pdf ahead). Yeah, I know, I’m like, 18 months late, but oh well.
All I have to say is this: mr. Croft has amassed and elegantly presented every aspect of web typography, all in a simple and enjoyable presentation (granted, of 130 slides, but I digress).
If you’re a web designer that respects oneself, do download it and read it, now.
Kudos, mr. Croft, for giving us the absolute web typography presentation for the years to come.

Thanks so much for the link. I’m glad you enjoyed the presentation! I’ll be a much-updated version of the same talk at Web Directions South next month, so if anyone in Australia wants to see it in person, c’mon down…

excellent resource indeed, especially for us who sometimes happen to design, by chance instead of profession. And, yes, I’m awaiting for the updated version, too
