I recently setup an account with Typekit.com. If you haven’t heard of TypeKit before and you’re a web designer, you should take a look at it. TypeKit is a subscription based service that allows you to embed fonts into your webpages that would not otherwise be one of the 10 web safe fonts. For me this has been a real pain over the years when you start designing a site and are stuck using one of the 10 fonts when they just don’t quite flow with the design. I setup a “Portfolio” account that allows for custom fonts to be used on up to 5 websites. I was able to setup a kit and add a font to it and then embed the code in my CMS template and then use the CSS selectors to place the font on my pages content. What an amazing difference from using the old fonts for all those years! Checkout Typekit.com and start escaping the inflexibility of the safe 10!
