It had to do with pizza.<\/p>\n

Font Bureau’s Nick Sherman dropped by my hotel room at TypeCon in Los Angeles. He read on Twitter that I had pizza left over<\/a> – and he’s a major pizza freak.<\/p>\n

I thought I was a pizza freak,<\/em> but I don’t even come close (video below).<\/p>\n

Nick said he was up late working on something big. <\/p>\n

Turns out this big thing is the launch of Webtype, a collaboration between Font Bureau, Ascender Corporation, Roger Black, Petr van Blokland and DevBridge. <\/p>\n

fb’s offerings<\/strong>
\nFont Bureau makes incredible fonts – and some of their best, Benton, Interstate, Miller – are now available as reasonably-priced, optimized-for-screen Webfonts that can make html pages zing with class. <\/p>\n

adobe throws their hat in<\/strong>
\nMeanwhile – over at TypeKit (which carries web versions of my own fonts<\/a>) – the team at Adobe has also optimized some of their classics for web use.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This includes Myriad, Minion, Chaparral and (of course) Trajan. Plus, the wonderful Adobe Garamond is available thru their free trial plan. More info here.<\/a><\/p>\n

No Adobe Caslon<\/a> yet. But hey, I can dream.<\/p>\n
