Salon: Web Typography

Registration is full -- we hope you will join us for an upcoming Salon.

Join AIGA DC and web design expert Jason Cranford Teague as we discuss how new technologies are changing the way typography is used on the web. In this members-only Salon, we will uncover the importance of typefaces for communicating messages and why typography on the web has languished for so long. We’ll discuss methods for using browser-safe and downloadable fonts and learn what the new web font service bureaus offer.

Bring your own experiences to share with the group and get your burning questions answered as we share ideas on web typography.
