Follow up: Our favorite type foundries & Typekit

Following up on our list of type foundries last week we noticed Ellen Lupton just published her own ‘Oscars of type’. We shared a lot of the same favorites with Ellen and we wished these typefaces were available for the web. Wouldn’t it be great to use Neutraface or Giorgio Sans instead of Tahoma and Arial?

Recently we found out about Typekit, a company dedicated to expanding the number of typefaces available online. “It’s a subscription-based service for linking to high-quality Open Type fonts. Members of Typekit pay a monthly subscription and use their font server to give you or your client’s website a unique look and feel.

With more and more design being produced for the web, it would certainly be nice to utilize some newer typefaces. We want to know what you think. Would you pay a subscription to get access to more typefaces? What typefaces would you like to see added to Typekit or other providers.
