Typography is so interesting, I am happy to have found a cutting edge website devoted to it. Thanks!

Such a kick-ass redesign, stunning. Outstanding work by Chris. Kudos! I would read it even if it were dead-ugly, for sure, but like the US-Fontshop-Site, this is a great blend of functionality, simplicity and just the effing right amount of funky. Love it!

Hi Jesse. The rotating header has been put to rest and replaced with a new tradition.

Great to see the site up and running again! Great stuff!

Is there a chance that the rotating header graphics could make a return? I liked those a lot.

Barbara – doesn’t matter if it looks like crap. He doesn’t purport to be a designer. But that page ADHERES 100% to the mystical recommendations of the Special People Who Run Things, and that’s all you need to know.

As far as “code sucking” – I doubt JLT cares, nor do I, given that “code sucks” doesn’t seem to have any impact on user experience in this case. I’m sure there are times where following these principles does increase access, but not following them here certainly hasn’t diminished it. Thus: pick your battles, Mr. Clark, and your cardiologist and life partner will thank you for the reduced stress you subject yourself and others to.

So Mr Clark,

instead of

a website that does not adhere to recommendations of an organization to which one may or may not subscribe, but that looks beautiful, like this one,

you recommend

a website may adhere (acute notcaring prevented me from a w3c roundtrip) to these standards, but uses tacky typefaces (Zapfino? Really??) to make terrible typography (your Zapfino descenders cut into the first line of text on 100% of the 1 browsers I amused myself to check; the triple emphasis for links [different font, different weight, underline], ), embossing-filtering that headline font for your, um, page title?, and what on earth’s going on with this 20-shades-of-blue, cyan and violet colour scheme?

SC, JLT: Great work. I love this new design.
