Type kit, the web service that helps designer exploit complex typefaces in their page designs, is celebrating its one year anniversary with a large announcement the company has added 16 of Adobe’s popular font families to Type kit’s ever-growing firm of options.

With the adding up of Adobe’s fonts to Type Kit’s already large library, designers now have admission to popular workhorse fonts like Adobe Garamond, News Gothic, Myriad and Minion, as well as a little funkier options like Rosewood or Trajan, the movie font. These typefaces are deeply used in the print publishing world.

The new Adobe fonts are the original cuts of the typefaces, not reproductions or downgrade web versions of the designs. This means it’s now apt to use them just like you would in print work with the same interpretation accuracy and technical detail you would see on paper. Monday’s development should have a positive impact on the use of fancier fonts on the websites of old-school institutions and larger corporations companies that have been using Adobe products to build their print materials for years. Now that they have the same level of control over details like kerning pairs and line height on the web, they will have an easier time making the jump.

The number of blogs increases daily, and web design presently favors type-led plainness over intricate Flash-based interfaces outside of websites for videogames and movies, anyway.

However, online typeface relics a sore point with many designers, who are ever more irked by restrictions. We have been restricted to choosing font’s users already have installed or embedding custom type by using images.

However, Snook and others consider change is on the way. 2010 could see the web become a place where type shines, but only if essential technical hurdles are overcome and web designers are au fait with the fundamentals of typography.
