Before we can start using Calluna in our site, we need to create a Typekit.…To do this, go to Typekit, and click on Register.…As you can see, there are multiple plans to choose from.…For this course, we're going to use the Free plan.…With the Free plan, you can use up to two fonts, and you can use them on one site,…and you can use all the fonts that are available in the trial library.…The trial plan requires the use of Typekit badge, which tells visitors to your…site that the fonts are from Typekit.…
Other plans allow you to choose whether or not to use the Typekit badge on your sites.…So let's go ahead and sign up for the plan.…If you already have an Adobe ID, you can sign in to Typekit.…If not, you will need to create an Adobe ID.…You can use your e-mail address, and set a password, and your date of birth, and you…can create an account.…You can read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on your own, and you come to a…page that gives you information on where to get help, and how to use Typekit.…
