In 2010, Jason Santa Maria recruited us alongside Naz Hamid and Frank Chimero to work on a project that celebrated the release of Internet Explorer 9. The Lost World’s Fairs was a fictional series of poster-style pages that highlighted typography on the web.

As the designs were finalized and handed off, we built out the web versions using HTML, CSS and Javascript. A highlight of the project for us was the creation of Lettering.js, a tiny jQuery plug-in that offers down-to-the-letter control of web typography.
