TODS

TODS: “an open source typography and opentype default stylesheet” from Richard Rutter.

I like the idea of slightly-opinionated stylesheets that do a bunch of things you might forget to do, or just as likely, don’t know you can do to begin with. There are loads of goodies in here including a slew of utility classes for specific OpenType features that are all useful in niche situations. I’ll another something that stuck out to me: font-weight: 1 1000;

Include full possible weight range to avoid unintended synthesis of variable fonts with a weight axis.

Wanna be a better web typographer?
