Proudly announcing the «Realist» super family.

Martin Wenzel's latest creation is not only a whopper of a type family but it is quite clever too. Each font contains two sets of alternative, stylistic letterforms. Martin calls them Humanist and Grotesk. The two distinct and familiar flavors of typographic tradition are integrated into a single font by adding a number of alternate glyphs.

Mobile browser support for WOFF at 24.15 %

→While the mobile browser usage share is only at a total of 8.04% this is a rapidly expanding segment of the browser market. The introduction of iOS 5 on October 12th marks a major turning point for WOFF on mobile devices.

As expected the introduction of iOS 5.1 catapulted WOFF support on mobile devices from a meager 0.35% to 24.15% in just two months time. The impact of Safari Mobile is mainly due to the Apple’s massive usage share of 53.3%.

Apple Mobile Safari for iOS devices (53.3 %)

Last updated Oct 13, 2011

It's official, Apple has made iOS 5 available as a free update. As reported earlier it features WOFF support, lifting over half of the mobile web traffic across this—for web typography—significant threshold.
The impact of Safari Mobile is mainly due to the Apple’s massive usage share and historically, to the swift adoption rate once updates were made available in the past.
