I'm beginning to believe that if code is simply a machine-interpretable codification of human expertise, then we should be able to express precisely what the code should be doing using written language as well. I've been turning t

I'm a trained graphic designer, let me take a crack at explaining it: Serifs make it easier to identify individual letters. When you are new to an alphabet (ESL, learning latin-based lettering, or a child) having the serifs makes it ea

SIL is just one of many open source licenses, and they said 'free', not 'open-source'. I think it's on the front page because many people may be interested in modern type trends and at the very least this is an exce

I like what you're doing, anything to improve typography on the web makes the whole experience better no matter what the design. Is there any way I can use JavaScript to pick swatches or set options like the type panel in illustrator?

To be clear: I may be in the minority I'm a young male. Maybe too young to matter, but I do not, and I can't stress enough, I literally give no merit to the gender of my coworkers. I was I raised to treat everybody equal. In my fa

It's simple enough to do yourself with your own icons. SVG is just in XML so you can affect different things with CSS (don't require. JavaScript) Check out a responsive SVG Test I did a while ago: http://staticresource.
