Webfonts allow you to embed the font into a webpage using the @font-face rule, so paragraphs and headings of text can be styled as the webfont. You will be serving the webfont kit for your own site and linking it in the CSS.
Webfonts can be used on a single domain. Agencies responsible for multiple websites, for example web design agencies or hosting providers, may not share a single webfont license across multiple websites.
We'll supply a kit containing webfonts that can be used within digital ads, such as banner ads. This kit may be shared with third parties who are working on your behalf to produce the ad creatives, however you are wholly responsible for it.
Digital advertisements also have different usage patterns compared to websites. Most websites generally have consistent pageviews month-to-month whereas advertising impressions can vary wildly month-to-month. Prices reflect this, making it much less expensive to use a Digital Ad license.
If you know the number of impressions the campaign requires, that amount can be ordered before the campaign begins. For campaigns where number impressions is unknown until the end of the campaign, you can true up at the end of each calendar month.
An Electronic Doc license is based on the number of publications in which the font is used. Each issue counts as a separate publication. Regional or format variations don't count as separate publications.
Ideal Sans began as an attempt to reclaim the Humanist style, and to restore its missing humanity. Like all Humanist designs, Ideal Sans has classical rather than industrial proportions (its capitals vary greatly in width, from the almost circular O to the half-square E), and it favors traditional forms like the two-storey lowercase a and g. Unlike most sans serifs, it is allergic to geometry: the design contains almost no straight lines, very few symmetries, and it takes every opportunity to resist formulaic rules. These policies make Ideal Sans engaging at large sizes, and help it to perform at small ones, giving the design a warm, organic, and handmade feeling.
It keeps its humanist urges just under the radar while playing them out to ambitious extremes: no straight lines, no perfect circles, no parallel edges. Unlike many attempts to pursue such a double life, Ideal Sans passes as a true sans while supporting its rich secret life. From a top-level view, this remarkable type family feels clean and rational enough for a train schedule or an infographic and yet, up close, reveals enough strange gentleness for a love letter.
I travelled to your website after hearing raves about Ideal Sans from John Gruber and the Vesper app team. I was disappointed that the price is so high. This product is clearly aimed only at professionals, not home users.

I'm doing a Photoshop-to-XHTML conversion, and the website designer used the Myriad Pro Semi-bold font which looks good in the photoshop file, but when I try the semi-bold option in CSS, it looks pretty much like a normal bold font, which is too bold for my purpose. Is there a way to achieve a nicer looking semi-bold font in HTML and CSS or am I just stuck with 'font-weight: 600;'?
Web browsers have been poor at implementing font weights by the book: they largely cannot find the specific weight version, except bold. The workaround is to include the information in the font family name, even though this is not how things are supposed to work.
Testing with Segoe UI, which often exists in different font weight versions on Windows systems, I was able to make Internet Explorer 9 select the proper version when using the logical approach (of using the font family name Segoe UI and different font-weight values), but it failed on Firefox 9 and Chrome 16 (only normal and bold work). On all of these browsers, for example, setting font-family: Segoe UI Light works OK.
For example, extra-bold will make the font look quite different in say, Photoshop, because you're selecting a different font. The same applies to italic font, which can look very different indeed. Setting font-weight:800 or font-style:italic may result in just a best effort of the web browser to fatten or slant the normal font in the family.
(You may use the fall-backs of serif and sans-serif, but you will get the font mapped to these by the individual web browser version used, within the fonts available in the OS version it's running under, and not what you designed.)
Which sans-serif fonts are best suited for body text? Currently I think about Gill Sans, Proxima Nova or Frutiger, but since I'm not full-stack graphic designer or typographer, I'm not sure in my choice.
In print, using sans serif typefaces for body copy is a very poor choice. If the copy is designed to be printed and read, you should use a serif typeface. I personally like more humanist serifs - Stone Informal, Stone Serif, Goudy, Garamond, etc.
If the text is to remain digital, and only be read on screen, then sans serif is preferred. However, out of your three designated choices, I would not use any of them. Gill Sans and Frutiger tend to be too unique to be uniformly read easily in body text. Proxima Nova is just ugly in some respects to me. I'd much prefer standards such as Helvetica, Open Sans, etc. The important aspect is easy and fluid readability, not "uniqueness".
Between the 3, I would choose the Proxima family. Note that while these will work with Word, using a top-end font family is more suited for more advanced editors which can really render your fonts properly and use all the open type features packed with the fonts.
The system version of Gill Sans is not ideal for body text - it's too bold and rather tightly spaced. Bliss Regular is excellent (Bliss is very similar to Gill Sans, but with a more even series of weights from light to bold) but that's rather pricey. TheSans from Lukas De Groot is $98 for four styles in the Office version, which is quite good for one of the world's top font designers. Ideal Sans from Hoefler & Co is $199 for four styles - again very nicely designed.
I frequently work on long documents with alot of text. More than one company that I have worked for has named the narrow version of Helvetica or Arial as the brand typeface. I have never heard any complaints about readability. So, you might want to check one of those typefaces out.
I updated to the new LO6: the process just silently removed my Open Sans font. Note that Open Sans was a font that I installed manually, it was not placed on my system by a previous LO release, in my case.
Now, I tried to open an old document containing text featuring Open Sans font and it is simply replaced with Open Sans semi-bold! The latter is a font weight that I manually installed as well. It probably survived the LO update because this weight was not part of the LO font bundle.
First, LO uninstall (and re-installation) should not remove system fonts without prompting. In my case, Open Sans was a font that I installed manually, now it is silently removed by a software update. This is far from ideal.
Still, the point I really want to highlight here is that LibreOffice 5.4 uninstaller (and any future LO uninstallers) should not remove fonts from the system without prompting. This is not a nice practice for the people who use those fonts with other software: suddenly, there are gone and the users might not relate the root-cause with LO update.
As we mentioned before, the research we did was extensive. It included the analysis of various bestselling fonts ranging from iconic names with a historical legacy to the newest hits. The list of our test subjects included, for example, typefaces from the Monotype collection as well as fonts made by independent type foundries.
The user survey featured both open-ended and closed-ended questions. In one of the parts, for instance, we gave the respondents the opportunity to provide us with additional suggestions and asked them to list their favorite fonts with small explanations of why they liked them.
Generally, this project took us 2900 hours to complete: we worked meticulously on every detail and constantly made up new features for the font, for example, a special italic font style and alternate glyph shapes (that we will talk about later in the article). Given that both Cyrillic and Latin character sets are extended in this font, the number of glyphs grew many times. And this indeed added technical challenges for us.
The font was crafted following our familiar approach. Initially, designers sketched the core glyphs of the Latin and Cyrillic writing systems in regular, bold, and light font styles. It was crucial to design these styles right away. Firstly, it helped to define the extreme values (masters). Secondly, we needed to precisely match the standardized values for the most frequently used font styles (Regular, DemiBold, and Bold).
You can easily notice that the boldest font style in TT Neoris (Black) looks as serious as the regular one. It may seem insignificant, but our designers put a lot of effort into creating this effect.
Honestly, it was a challenge to fit everything into one typeface and build the logic behind the OpenType features to make them work properly. For example, designers faced technical limitations while creating alternate shapes of periods and other punctuation marks, along with the diacritical marks that included dots.
Our goal was to design a Neo-Grotesque and remain true to the genre, so we tried to keep all the proportions typical for this typeface category while also keeping an eye on the contemporary variations. Besides, we chose a critical approach to each element and re-thought the characteristic forms to make the font look modern.
The users we surveyed for the research wrote that they needed a typeface with a neutral and basic character. However, they wanted a product with multiple alternates, allowing the use of the same font for various clients and tasks. This is why we crafted many features to significantly increase font customization options.
