Dan Rhatigan's conference on Vimeo

A week after our successful Portuguese Typography conference, I’m determined to get back on this blog’s saddle. With this in mind, here’s another edition of This Week in Type—I’ll try to shorten this topic down to 5 links a week, organized on a given theme or topic. In order to get them out every week I’ll slim down the text to an almost “bookmark style” post.

First and foremost, after ATypI’s short videos on Vimeo, here’s Rhatigan’s conference on Web fonts and more: http://vimeo.com/29473760 (post image). Hope we’ll be able to publish our own conference videos soon too (Petr van Blokland’s conference rocked!)

Talking about typography on the Web, here’s Thomas Phinney’s Typography’s Best Practices for the Web. Part 1: http://blog.webink.com/web-fonts/free-best-practices-for-web-typography-webcast-series/ and Part 2: http://blog.webink.com/webink/free-webcast-best-practices-for-web-typography-part-2-setting-web-type/

Vocabulary of Type (via Fontfeed): http://vimeo.com/12723954. Not about web, not even a “today technology” but a nice experimental video.

One more visual inspiration reference—Rui Abreu’s latest experiment: http://vimeo.com/12723954. Big fan of his work (but I’m a biased friend of him…)

As a final note, not a video link, but I’m sure it’ll produce a lot of videos online. The next Typo conference: http://www.fontshop.com/blog/newsletters/typolondon2011/?utm_source=Newsletter20110928&utm_medium=email&utm_term=em&utm_campaign=typolondon2011&affId=98219
