Web fonts expand a web designer's arsenal dramatically. Typekit, Adobe's online font-hosting service, allows you to pick and choose web fonts from thousands of choices, and deploy them to your websites quickly and gracefully. Want to learn more? Join lynda.com senior author James Williamson in this course, as he explores the typographic possibilities in Typekit. James shows how to choose fonts, organize them into kits, and enable Typekit on your site. He also discusses how to control the way fonts display, with CSS; how to select and modify font weights and styles; and (new in Creative Cloud 2014) how to use Typekit fonts right on the desktop.
