But it wasn’t ALWAYS this way...
600 years of typography
thousands of fonts
1993: no fonts
2008: 18 fonts

Is there a BETTER way?
@font-face { font-family: 'Awesome Font'; src: url('awesome-font.woff'); }
@font-face { font-family: 'Awesome Font'; src: url('awesome-font.woff'); font-weight: 400; font-style:
normal; }
@font-face { font-family: 'Awesome Font'; src: url('awesome-font.woff'); } h1 {
font-family: 'Awesome Font', 'Georgia', serif; }
Works in modern browsers!
GREAT! End of story?
No
How is type on the web DIFFERENT than type in
print?
