I’ll add another script suggestion: Always by Anton Sholtz. What I like about Always is 1) it has 4 weights, which seems less common with script faces but makes it much more versatile, and 2) it’s inexpensive enough that users could also buy it for use in Photoshop, etc. (it’s $38 for all 4 weights). http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/scholtz/always/

In reply to Dan Butcher. I am all about seeing Canada Type on Typekit. Three Islands Press as well?

Anything from Mark Simonson, even if it’s just additional weights, is a major plus for fans of beautiful font-ery. Thanks!

I love the looks of Raleway and Proxima Nova Light. Thanks for adding it to Typekit!

I would love to see Bouwsma Script by Philip Bouwsma and published by Canada Type. Some of the scripts currently available on Typekit run small for their point size; for example a 30 point title in a standard san-serif must become 50+ points in Chemist to fill the same space–and that totally messes things up in browsers that don’t render Typekit fonts as well as during that momentary flash of unstyled content.

One the things I like about Bouwsma is that it’s sizing is consistent with other fonts–I won’t need to jack up the point size to get the look I want. And it’s just a great, versatile script.

Actually, Bouwsma has a lot of great script faces I would like to see in Typekit (http://new.myfonts.com/person/Philip_Bouwsma/).
