Over the weekend I made a few tweaks to the Ph7labs blog, tweaks that only took me less than a hour. Besides adding some new categories to the blog, I began using a service called Typekit.

Typekit is a subscription based service that allows anyone to add real fonts to the web. After reading the short description of what Typekit was all about, it only took me about 10 minutes to get up and running with the service. I was really amazed about how simple it was to add Typekit to my website.

Basically all you need to do, is to simply add 2 lines of code and set up an account over at typekit.com. I chose the Free account, once you have your account set up, all you have to do is follow the directions to pick the Font you would like to use and define which selectors on your site will use this font. And thats it!

It’s the easiest solution I have found for using real fonts on you site, easier than any flash replacement techinique out there. And the best part of it all is that it’s completely legal!
Typekit works with high-quality Open Type fonts from some of the worlds best type foundries out there.

Try it for yourself!
