Through the use of "web type," designers are free to roam a land of expressive typography that is distinct to their content. We will discuss ways to implement beautiful typography on the web, both from a technical and an aesthetic perspective. In addition, we will examine some of the common pitfalls to avoid and strategies to address them when they arrise. You will leave with a solid understanding of the freedoms and complexities of web type that you can bring to your next project.</span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; "><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; "><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; "><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; "><b>Bio:</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">Ira F.
