In the first part of the CSS In Depth series, we talked about Margins, Padding & the Box Model. Last week in the second part of the series, we also discussed the differences between Floats & Positions.
This week in part 3 of our CSS In Depth series, we’ll discuss something more visual and design related – typography!
CSS2.1 provides for a lot of ways to use fonts creatively, and with CSS3 (which we’ll talk about next week), we’ll come even closer to full design control over our typography!
So what can we do with our text in CSS that’s accessible, helpful for SEO, cross-browser compatible and good looking?
