Press Release
FontsLive.com [formerly known as “Web Fonts from Ascender”] is a project from Ascender, developer of the “Droid” fonts for Google’s Android mobile platform, fonts for the Nook e-reader, Palm Pre and others.
Like Typekit, FontsLive.com offers an affordable and simple solution for hosting real fonts on any website. However, we don’t require the use of JavaScript and we make sure that every one of our 300 premium web fonts are optimized for on-screen reading, putting each one through a lengthy hand-tuning process called “hinting”, that makes web fonts look good at both text and headline sizes in websites.
You can find more details at FontsLive.com (including a free 30-day trial of our service), or by watching the video below.
