= For the Love of Typography =

A Talk by Rebecca Mushtare,  at Unconference


=== Abstract ===

This workshop will introduce you to the tools and techniques you need to implement beautiful and useful typography in your next web or screen-based project.

=== Main Description ===

The majority of content on the web is text, which means typography choices are critical design choices. Usability, accessibility and engagement are dependent upon type. Designers, developers, strategists, and clients – anyone involved in the making process—all have a stake in typography. Knowing what typographic details to focus on while choosing a typeface is empowering. This workshop will introduce you to the tools and techniques you need to implement beautiful and useful typography in your next project.
