Some of you will know me from Typophile where I posted some type designs. Well I have finally completed Headland which is now available for use and download at Google fonts. http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Headland+One
A big big thank you to Eben Sorkin without whom the project would not have been possible.

Headland One is useful from very small sizes to headlines.
What makes this typeface useful at headline sizes? Its contrast is low, its letters are wide, its serifs are chunky, its x-height is gigantic, and its extenders are short. If anything this a face best used at smaller text sizes.0 -

Early on I decided Peter Biľak was probably the world's foremost authority on the lcaron, and that I shouldn't ever do anything he wouldn't do.1 -
Does that special caron have its own Unicode location? If not, it should.0

It should, but it doesn’t. In practice this isn’t too bad because it’s only used for a few letters in one language and so a combining mark is not needed in fonts anyway.0
