Web design is no different from any other piece of design, in that every element has been considered. Typography is no exception. Here are jQuery plugins which gives you an ultimate control on your web typography.

FlowType.JS

Ideally, the most legible typography contains between 45 and 75 characters per line. This is difficult to accomplish for all screen widths with only CSS media-queries. FlowType.JS eases this difficulty by changing the font-size—and subsequently the line-height—based on a specific element’s width. This allows for a perfect character count per line at any screen width.

BalanceText

Succinct

Succinct shortens your text to a specified size, and then adds an ellipsis to the end.

Lettering.JS

Web type is exploding all over the web but CSS currently doesn’t offer complete down-to-the-letter control. So here is jQuery plugin to give you that control.

The BigText jQuery plugin

At its simplest, the BigText jQuery plugin takes a single element and sizes the text inside of its child divs to fit the width of the parent element. Gives the text that lovely vertical alignment.

Based on Lettering.js, it calculates the right rotation of each letter and distributes the letters equally across the imaginary arc of the given radius.
