Like most cool technologies, this WordPress plugin was developed out of necessity for a client project. In a nutshell it works very similar to the way sifr works only without involving flash in the process. Instead, the plugin relies on php and the GD graphics library to dynamically replace html tags with images of true type typography.  As it is heavily inspired by the Signwriter drupal module, it is clearly not a novel method, however, in the spirit of open source it seemed natural to port the functionality to WordPress.

In brief, once installed, the plugin will act automatically, relying on CSS classes to target content. Typography styles are defined using a simple rule syntax not at all unlike CSS allowing for versatility and flexability all from within the wordpress dashboard. Since it is a server-side technology, the method is truly cross-platform and allows license-burdened fonts to be secured to prevent download.
