Creating new fonts is only half the work. The other part is sharing and showing them off. That is the function that the blog performs for us…as a playground and workshop to test and share things in progress. 

We have discovered a few code solutions that will allow us to emebed these samples on the site and we are sharing those samples below; as well as some more customized options seen on some of our more recent blog posts, like here.
