We live for type. The FontFeed is an inspirational journal of typography tips, recommended fonts, and bits of design from around the web that caught our typographic eye.
Embrace The OpenType Hype
We love OpenType. It’s not just the latest font technology, but also the most advanced, poised to replace the old TrueType and PostScript formats. This font format brings many more possibilities for typographers and graphic designers. But, of course, a new technology always means new things to learn. To help you understand OpenType, we published a new page that describes the efficiency and power of the format, and answers the question: “Is OpenType right for me?”.
So if you now want to know how a Swiss Army Knife is like our favorite font format, check out the new OpenType page on our support section. Last year we spoke to attendees of the PINC Show about OpenType, so if you prefer to learn in a more visual way, have a look at the slides from that presentation.

This is a very informative article. Thanks so much for putting it together. I am very excited to start working with your site and buy some fonts.
I work on a PC when I go to my fonts folder I have a lot of fonts with the icon O which represents the OpenType font. Yet in the the file name still shows it as a TTF as the type of file. Do you know why?
Thanks
Barbara
