It seems Typekit and Google made a deal: https://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/webfont_loader.ht... I suppose they plan on 'sharing' the API where Google will supply/host the free fonts, and Typekit the paid ones?


Does Typekit have any advantages over Google? Google has better infrastructure, a simpler impelentation (no signup required), and a budget to license a wider variety of fonts.


They sell non-free fonts that allow font-face embedding in their licenses. Google will only offer free fonts.


Yes, and typekit has a huge and varying library of fonts available: http://typekit.com/libraries/full
