Videos We Love

TYPESETTING BODY TEXT

Video created by:

Tim Brown works for adobe and is an expert when it comes to text and type. A lot of what he talks about has positive implications for accessibility.


Typesetting body text for the web is an enormous challenge. It's a complicated, expensive process, and it contradicts tenets of typography that are widely considered fundamental to good design. But doing it well fortifies your brand, lends authenticity to what you say, and clarifies your messages. And body text can act as an anchor, making other design decisions easier. In this talk, Tim Brown welcomes you to hone productive typesetting practices — with many specific tips, as well as a solid overview of the scope, dependencies, and effects of our typographic decisions.


This is a really good video but bear in mind the balance between brand value and readability. Unfortunately all to often people get carried away with the brand and forget that fact that we just want to read the text.
