Dr. Andy Carter - HTML is easy(?) - Lessons from the Web

Alfred Renn - How and why you should make your own font
Much time is spent defining the exact layout of websites. Much tinkering is tinkered with the colours. But many spend five minutes browsing Google Fonts to choose a typeface that will last forever. I will explore fonts from a personable perspective, suggest alternatives to Google Fonts, explain why I like typefaces, and describe how you can make your own font.
