This site has been dormant for quite a while, but the development of new tools for onscreen reading has not. I’ve talked to a lot of people who are working on aspects of this problem (such as Jason Pamental’s presentation at TypeCon in Boston a couple of weeks ago about “Variable Fonts & The Future of Web Design,” or his follow-up talk on “Intentional Typography in Dynamic Systems” at ATypI in Montréal), and in the next few weeks I’ll be asking some of them to give me a brief snapshot of where they think we are today. It’s about time to turn this site back into the center for ideas and information about publishing onscreen that it was meant to be.
