Text replacement with Typekit
Thinking about using Rich Typography in your web design?

The most commonly used solutions that you might have heard of are Cufón, sIFR, Typeface.js, P+C DTR... Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Difficulty is one of the most important reason that keep web designers from using those text replacement methods.
Typekit is a service that let you easily embed both free and commercial fonts to your web design.Web designers don't need to worry about font copyright issues when using Typekit. Because Typekit has been working with foundries to develop a consistent web-only font linking license.
Although Typekit is still in beta, I got an Invite couple weeks ago. Let me walk you through, and find out if Typekit is right for you. I will give a way two Typekit Invites BTW.
