As I fall further away from the design side of web design, I find it just as refreshing to get schooled in the rules as it is to be taken aback by a stunning design. It reminds me of the days when I was passionate about such things (of course, those days I also swore off Web as a legitimate medium).
I just had one such refreshing moment when I came across Rchard Rutter and Mark Boulton’s talk entitled “Web Typography Sucks”, given at this year’s SXSW Interactive conference.
An mp3 of the talk and corresponding pdf are available here, along with some other great resources. I highly recommend taking the time to click along to the audio if you can.
