Since Web Design is 95% Typography (https://ia.net/know-how/the-web-is-all-about-typography-period), we thought it was crucial to dedicate an entire event to the interplay of web and type. A truly stellar lineup of designers with skills that range from type design and coding, to writing for Smashing Magazine (http://smashingmagazine.com) and A List Apart (http://www.alistapart.com). Design First #4 are Nick Sherman (https://twitter.com/NickSherman/) (Fonts in Use), Nina Stössinger (https://twitter.com/ninastoessinger/) (Typologic) and Marko Dugonjić (https://twitter.com/markodugonjic) (Typetester).
