UpThemes new typography theme panel screencast

UpThemes has updated their WordPress theme framework with a new typography panel (and moved its development over to Github). Chris Wallace of UpThemes tipped us off about the video above, and also shared:

The new typography panel is unlike anything we’ve seen before. We wanted to bring real web fonts to WordPress in a way that is both free and easy. This new feature for the UpThemes Framework is very lightweight and easy for developers to add their own @font-face font kits from websites like Fontspring and Fontsquirrel as well. All you need to do is register a new font with a stylesheet reference and you’re ready to start using your own custom fonts.

What do you think? Do you use anything like this in your WordPress themes?

UpThemes has released another theme integrated with Carrington Build, this time called Charity and targeted toward non-profit organizations. Carrington Build is only available with the Developer Package of the theme, but all versions include Events Calendar Pro, an event management plugin normally priced at $30.

Chris Wallace describes the origins of the theme in the announcement post:

As far as the design of the theme goes, this theme was lovingly hand-crafted by one of the most talented up-and-coming designers of Canada, Pat Dryburgh. Pat took his years of design experience and non-profit experience and injected it into this theme, making sure it satisfies the needs of charities and their staff members. With 2 style options, 4 custom widgets including a twitter feed widget, this theme is gorgeous and sure to captivate your soon-to-be donors within seconds.

You can demo Charity Theme or pick it up for $75 if you like it.
