Google and Monotype team up to create Readable Web Contents 
To encourage creative experimentation in Web design, Google has announced that it has entered into partnership with Monotype Imaging Holdings. A new, free public version of Monotype's Typecast application can now be accessed through Google Fonts, helping users to create better quality Web typography.

With the new public version, Typecast users will be able to select any font on the Google Fonts website and then follow the link to the Typecast application. Users can create realistic compositions with floats, clears, margins, and padding controls, and a number of effects are available such as background colours, borders and text shadows. In this free version of the Typecast application, a user's work can be exported as production-ready HTML and CSS, or PNG files, to share with others or merge with comps.

Filip Zembowicz, Product Manager, Google, said,Choosing a typeface in isolation, without the context of content or other text, is a difficult task. The typecast design tool makes it easy to try out and experiment with font pairings from the Google Fonts directory.

Great design starts with exceptional typography, and easy access to type is essential for creative expression. Our goal is to make designing with Web fonts more accessible to everyone. So we have partnered with Google to reach out to more designers. Those who currently rely on Google's library of free typefaces to bring more varied typography to the Web will now be able to work with those typefaces more easily and create stunning, readable compositions in a fraction of the time, said Chris Roberts, Vice-President & General Manager of Monotype's E-Commerce group.

Monotype's premium version of its Typecast application starts at $29 per month. Google users can upgrade at any time to take full advantage of the thousands of other typefaces available in the app, including fonts from. The premium version also allows users to save their work, publish.........See More
