I’m definitely looking forward to typekit. Since I’m going to school for IT Engineering now, it’s good to have a tool I can readily use on hand (without having to understand HTML, Java, PHP, or CSS. Thanks for the article!

Check out Cufon – it uses javascript without flash to create PNGs. I don’t know how the licensing on fonts works though…

Yawn….anyone should know not to go poking people about typesets…those people (designers) are perhaps the most finicky bunch on the planet.

Agreed as well, this is yet another revolution on something done 20x already.

Type? Yawn. Sleep.

Interesting to read – I think it what stories like this miss is information about business models (esp when investment is mentioned).

Perhaps Veen isn’t talking/revealing that yet – but it doesn’t look the author of the post made any attempt to contact SmallBatch or the investors to find out.

Their plan to help with licensing (by allowing you to “rent” – if I understood correctly) will be the true innovation.

Font embedding is already a part of the CSS spec. What is TypeKit going to do to further improve typography? Firefox 3.5 adds Firefox to the list of browsers which already support font embedding (the large exclusion being IE). I fail to see how this is revolutionary.

You’re obviously not a designer. At one time, “the world has gone by perfectly well” with letterpresses where each letter of a word was laid out individually by hand, in reverse. Technology like Typekit is serious progress.
