I have some conflicted feelings.
On one hand, I'm happy for Typekit team, if everything turns out the way they hope. Possible integration with Photoshop / DreamWeaver could help bring better fonts to the web, help them grow, invite more type foundries, and so on.
On the other hand, Adobe quite often ruin things they acquire, and that would be just terrible, because Typekit was by far the best service for web fonts. Google fonts are quite crappy, FontDeck doesn't have the best foundries, and Fonts.com is expensive, and their fonts are less optimized for the web.
So here's to the bright future of Typekit, in which the service remains great and inexpensive.
- masnick 15y agoI agree with the parent...when I saw this headline, I immediately thought of this blog: http://adobegripes.tumblr.com/ http://adobegripes.tumblr.com/.
- markbao 15y agoFonts.com has an excellent webfonts offering which includes name-brand fonts like Frutiger, Helvetica Neue, Avenir, and others.
- flixic 15y agoYes, but they are more than 4 times as expensive, and most of their fonts are not optimized for the web (unlike Typekit's).
- briandear 15y agoLet's hope so. I would like Typekit to be integrated better with Adobe products, but not at the expense of the core Typekit service.
