DrupalCon Austin 2014: TYPE, RESPONSIVELY: DESIGN FOR READABILITY & MEANING ON ANY SCREEN

This talk, presented by jpamental, explores the critical aspects of responsive web design with a focus on typography. The speaker emphasizes that simply adjusting floats and widths is insufficient, highlighting the importance of considering screen size, relative proportions, and device norms for effective design communication across different platforms. Throughout the session, key topics include typographic scaling across various screen sizes, the effectiveness of different measurement units, and the functionality of @font-face, along with strategies used by font services to enhance font delivery. The speaker asserts that with the right technology and browser support available, poor typography on the web is simply unacceptable.
