Awesome, some of these I’ve never seen before. Typesites is another good place to go for websites that have nice typography too.

I’d love to see more of these posts!

@Max thanks, it’s quite different infact-looking for typography for the web was much harder than just looking for typography in any medium!

@Liam, I’m glad you like the series, guess I’m going to have to keep it up! :)

@Bob Galmarini, your welcome, great design & (typography) doesn’t go unnoticed!

@Andrew, your welcome - Jason’s is very catching!

It didn’t take long to realize that many of the listed examples use the typeface Georgia.

@Brian thank YOU for recommending it! :) It worked out great and I had a lot of fun finding great web typography.

@Simon Bruce Well thanks! Im flattered. I will have to keep this up now!

@anonymous Georgia is beautiful in many different ways using color, size, italics, bold etc. Infact I just used it on a web design project!

its amazing how simple but effective the Futon Media site is, I tried to recreate (for training) one like this but it just didn’t turn out right, they seem to have exactly the right combination and if you change a single element color or font it just doesn’t look right!

wefunction is one of those logo’s and themes you just look at and it all just click’s

Great post!
Thanks!

ps @adellecharles will be back to you for another twun-liner so be ready this time ;)
