Next up: Typekit
Last summer, I started Small Batch Inc. with my long-time friends and colleagues Jeff Veen, Ryan Carver and Greg Veen. The organizing principle for our company was simple, we wanted to explore the most interesting ideas happening on the web and follow them wherever they took us. We produced an awesome event, worked with our friends at Twitter (a little start-up you’re certain to hear about someday), and we launched Wikirank as our first project.
In April, we turned our attention to a whole new idea — and I think it’s going to surprise some folks. It’s called Typekit, and it’s a service designed to help bring typography to the web. Imagine how dramatically web design will change when you can use any typeface without rendering it as an image or Flash file. We’d like to be a part of that. If you want to know more, Jeff wrote up a great post over on the newly minted Typekit blog, so go have a look.
This is so exciting.
And I am happy to hear that this is on the works by people who have shown a passion for the web, and not just a huge monster trying to gobble such nice ‘new’ feature on modern browsers.
Keep the updates on this endeavor coming!
And thank you, thank you, thank you!
