\nA few fonts from the new Georgia Pro type family<\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew Carter’s Georgia<\/a> is among my favorite fonts. And recently, Georgia turned into something a bit  . . .  more.<\/p>\n

I love that Georgia exists, or the interwebs would be Times<\/a> forever (well, until WOFF<\/a> kicks in) – and without Georgia, the argument that sans fonts<\/a> online are more legible (which I think is hooey) sort of wins.<\/p>\n

And if you’re reading my blog directly online (without using RSS<\/a>), you’re reading Georgia. It does what I like it to do. Reads well. <\/p>\n


\nThe original Georgia, 1993<\/em><\/p>\n

\nBehind the scenes, the boys at Ascender (including the great Steve Matteson) got the license to expand the Georgia type family<\/a> into some really cool weights – and working with Carter & Cone, The Font Bureau and Microsoft – did just that. <\/p>\n

Georgia Pro: 20 new fonts, beyond the basic set that one sees on the web. The details really come out as things get bolder and heavier. <\/p>\n

Check em out here.<\/a> Condensed versions here.<\/a><\/p>\n

And
\nTo balance things a bit – Verdana<\/a> (below) has also gone  . . .  more. <\/p>\n
