Whilst the principles of good typography remain into the digital age, new tools are available to the typographer. Digital [[character encoding]] means that the presentation of text is independent of the meaning of that text; thus the same text can be used readily in different contexts but using different typefaces as appropriate to each context. Typographers have moved beyond the static pages of print books, newspapers, posters and other display materials, into design of dynamic materials such as web pages (see [[Web typography]]).

[[Typeface design]]ers also have new tools, such as [[font hinting]] and [[font rasterization]], that enable them to create new typefaces quickly and easily without needing the traditional skills of letter cutters or acceptance by typesetting machine manufacturers.
