Type on the Web - An Evolutionary Shift

As we near a point where real typographic controls and options are available to us, its pivotal time for professionals to step up and gain (or remember) skills that haven't been of use on the Web. The gap between good and great designs and designers will grow and the differences will be much more apparent at a glance and in the details.
