Summer's here, and Cabrito's slimming down for a new look.

The Cabrito family is making a statement again. Launched as a supplement to the children's book, The Clothes Letters Wear, the original Cabrito is carefree, fun and easy on the eyes. Now, by balancing this friendly connection with new elegance, Cabrito Serif arrives: attractive copy text with an extra sophisticated sensibility incorporated into the design. Still bright and playful, this new Cabrito is cleaner and leaner, ensuring that its polished appearance retains legibility.

54 fonts include upright alternates, ligatures, and old figures. The range includes extended and condensed variants. To see any of these interactive features, see the PDF manual. The family also includes language support for 72 Latin-based languages, and there are more than 600 glyphs. Cabrito Serif can be used for logos and packaging, as well as for brochures and web pages. It’s readability makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of jobs.

Take a walk with Cabrito Serif and see how much fun it is. By the way, look at some other Cabrito members and see how much you love the original, Inverto, Contrast or Didone.

Microsoft Expression

I have been trying out the Microsoft Expression web design program recently. My final verdict: I like it better than Dreamweaver. I’ve been using Dreamweaver for 5 years now, but where Expressions really shines is its handling of CSS, which is, in my mind, quite a bit better than Dreamweaver. My “problem” with CSS as opposed to tables is that with tables you can visualize what you are doing. CSS is a bit more programmatic. Expression helps a bit. If you are looking to save some money, and you use a PC, you should download Visual Web Developer. You can do some very advanced stuff with this program, and the interface is very much like Expressions. The price is right: free! However, Expression is more intuitive in how it handles CSS. It’s very interesting how Microsoft is starting to head into Adobe’s turf. Microsoft is working on equivalents to everything in Adobe’s product line. My long term bet is on Microsoft.
