Gave this talk to a group of sophomore Interaction Design students at CCA in San Francisco. Covering web fonts, their relation to the history of typography, and the differences and opportunities in how we can use typography on the web.
If my poor Flatland friend retained the vigour of mind which he enjoyed when he began to compose these Memoirs, I should not now need to represent him in this preface, in which he desires, rstly, to return his thanks to his readers and critics in Spaceland, whose appreciation has, with unexpected celerity, required a second edition of his work; secondly, to apologize forcertain errors and misprints (for which, however, he is not entirely responsible); and, thirdly, to explain one or two misconceptions. But he is not the Square he once was.

Responsive design “The control which designers know in the print medium, and often desire in the web medium, is simply a function of the limitation of the printed page. We should embrace the fact that the web doesn’t have the same constraints, and design for this exibility.” John Allsopp, “A Dao of Web Design”
Fluid layout The layout should adjust to the width of the canvas. At a basic level, this means using relative units (like percentages) instead of relying exclusively on absolute units, like pixels.
