SDG + Typekit

Last night I did some regiggering to the Sentinel Design Group site in order to do a bigger redesign quicker and easier in the next few days. Part of that process was upgrading to Nanoc 3, a Ruby-based CMS that generates flat HTML. It’s a pretty simple concept—one that you wouldn’t think is all that helpful—but it really speeds up development.

The interesting part, though, is that I finally added some Typekit flavor to my copy. I’m a sucker for well-designed, subdued style type, and Typekit finally added a bunch of this from the FontFont type foundry.

For the headings I’m using FF Meta Small Caps Web Pro and for the body copy I chose FF Meta Serif Web Pro.
