Font Loading and Performance: A Conversation With Zach Leatherman
SmashingConf is heading to Austin, and among the speakers is Zach Leatherman, who will cover type and font performance. Leatherman is a familiar presence at Smashing events, and his earlier talk from SmashingConf London 2018, alongside Monica Dinculescu’s presentation from SmashingConf Barcelona, offers a deep look into web fonts and loading strategies. For those who want to dig deeper before the event, his collection of posts on web fonts is a solid starting point.
With the current landscape of font loading evolving quickly, Austin attendees will get an opportunity to explore the subject with one of the most knowledgeable voices in the field.
What to Expect in Austin
The conference also marks SmashingConf’s debut in Austin, and the full speaker lineup was announced alongside an interview with Miriam Suzanne. Leatherman’s session fits into a broader program focused on performance and practical front-end techniques.
Registration Details
Registration for SmashingConf Austin is open. Past events have seen several conferences sell out well in advance of the date, and workshops tend to fill up just as quickly.
