Performance comparison of serving fonts through Typekit vs Cloud.typography
On optimizely.com, we just switched our typeface from Proxima Nova (via Typekit), to Gotham (via Hoefler & Frere-Jones Cloud.typography). Gotham has long been what we used in Photoshop mocks, but we made the switch mostly because it just looks better. We've long known that Typekit can be a bottleneck to our page load, so I took this opportunity to compare the performance impact of each service.
