Typekit and Google Announce Open Source Collaboration →
Commercial agreements with big names like FontShop, Veer, and now an open-source effort with Google. Jeffrey Veen on the latest news:
We’re happy to announce that we’ve teamed up with Google to make webfonts ubiquitous and more accessible. Starting today, we’re making our Typekit font events an open source project called WebFont Loader….
Additionally, we’ll be supporting Google’s new collection of open source webfonts. We’ve just added these fonts to the Typekit library for all account levels, so switching between either service is as easy swapping a couple lines of code. Our goal is shared with Google: to make it as easy as possible for anyone to start using webfonts.
I’m certain Veen’s history with the company had a hand in fostering discussions between Google and Typekit. Nicely done, Jeffrey.
