I say I'd prefer American Typewriter. It has some class to it. It's stylish and somewhat old fashioned, but still very clean. I like.

Oh definitely. They're all similar, but they all have their places. American Typewriter is pretty much perfect for what it is. Well, Archer is pretty close. Those ball terminals, those lovely ball terminals. Oh, but do note that the pic I posted is the "light" variation. The medium variation looks quite a bit different:

I like fonts. I wish I had more to play with.

I like the subtle light variation. Might not be very useful on a big poster, but it sure is nice to the eye

The guy that I just hired appears to have a way better understanding of font embedding than me. I'm really looking forward to being able pick his brain about it.

Oh I do too! The light version is nice and airy.

Font embedding? What are that?

Airy is the word.

So I suppose it just temporarily gives the font to the browser and takes it back afterwards?

I'm not sure how well it works across all browsers but it's definitely very cool.

I'm not sure how it works to be honest.

My first laptop ever. And I didn't really buy it, it was free (brand new) as partial payment for a large freelance job I've just started for a startup.

HP - Pavilion / AMD Phenom™ II Processor / 17.3" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive

So it's not the best thing ever, but I can't complain in any way. It should be faster than my home and work computers as it is.
