• An early web design technique that uses CSS to replace text on a web page with an image containing that text. It allows custom typography and visuals while keeping the respective page accessible to screen readers, text-only browsers, and environments where images or stylesheets are disabled. Some implementations also used Flash to render custom fonts before native CSS font support was widespread. Image replacement has largely been superseded by web fonts and expanded typographic capabilities in CSS. ↑ webglossary.info/x/i15t
