Typography is what comes between the author and the reader. This is as true on the web as it is in any other medium. If a text has anything at all significant to say, it needs a typographer's care, which will in turn be repaid by the reader's attention. If you design websites or use CSS then you are a typographer whether you know it or not. This book is a practical guide and companion reference to all aspects of typography on the web. It deftly combines implementiation details with typographic theory, and is ideal for designers, developers and anyone else involved in the process of creating a website.
