Good-riddance Comic Sans — Hello Irma Slab. Typoptheque have announced that their web-font service is now well and truly, alive & kicking. No longer will web designers be forced to use ‘web-safe’ fonts such as Times and Arial. Instead, they can now make use of Typotheque’s ever-growing catalog of neatly crafted typefaces.

Their pricing is fair, their licensing terms make sense and their process of embedding (using PHP) is smarter than that of its current rival (Typekit, which ultilises JavaScript). I’m looking forward to experimenting with a 30-day free trial license. You can pick up a trial license for yourself over at www.typotheque.com.
