Hey all!

Wow, doesn’t this look better now? After a year of simpleX on WPshoppe, I got a little time to play around with a new theme. I was inspired because much awaited technology of embedding creative fonts onto a webpage has now been possible. This is surely going to be another revolution on the web world as this has been dreamt by a lot of designers out there.

Just few days ago, TypeKit launched its long time beta tested font embedding service. I couldn’t wait to realize this technology before its too late. So, I started working on a quickie theme naming it Typewriter. Now, why this name? Because, I subscribed to TypeKit as soon as I heard about the news. I browsed some 7 pages of free fonts and wasn’t quite convinced of the free fonts they have in their library. The only font I thought looked great was the old typewriter font, John Doe… and that clicked on my mind. What if I could make an old looking theme that used typewriter font?

So, I started working, and eventually put the site live today. And when I published the site with the typewriter font, oh my..  it really didn’t look good. I hated it. Maybe perhaps I was theming with Georgia font in my localhost with a clean white background. So, I just looked over TypeKit Library and found another font called Anonymous Pro. And voila, I liked how its matching.

Its good to be on the frontline on this new technology and staying away from the default arial, georgia fonts after 10 long years (for me). You guys should definitely check TypeKit as well. I have 4 invitations left so if you want one, just message me down here.

AND yes, hope you like the new look (still needs bit of work) and do let me know if you would also like this theme as a free download.

Cheers all!
