How often have you seen a "completed" site that still has lorem ipsum text lurking in the quiet corners? While we often strive for perfection in our designs and code, I am reminded every time I stumble across a garbled bit of lorem ipsum that not all aspects of web development process are given the attention they deserve.
Developing a complete and detailed suite of typographic elements is an often-overlooked aspect of the process. While not always as prominent or exciting as other graphic elements, typography is an essential part of every site and does most of the heavy lifting to fulfill each page's purpose: transferring information.
While I can't do anything about lazy lorem ipsum use, I've been working on a tool that helps develop beautiful and robust online typography.
