The Web Going To International Typographic Style? It’s About Really Clean Design.

I have this love affair with Helvetica (note, I said Helvetica, not that bastard child, Arial) and other really clean type styles. It’s one of the reason I’m kind of futzing with this site on a semi-regular basis — I’m trying to get that perfect look typographically, and it will always be a work in progress.

Along those same lines, Samantha Warren has a great blog post where she talks about the shift of the web to clean, international typographic style, which basically emphasizes simple geometrics and focuses on minimalism. They point to iA Japan as an example of gorgeous design. I agree. iA Japan has another great read about typography, how the web is 95 percent tyopgraphy. Agreed there too.


Web Typography Is Dead! Long Live Web Typography!

I’m a print guy, and I’ve always felt that typography, because of the limited nature of what you could use, was actually harder and more valuable on the web. One of the favorite blogs, i love typography, agrees, and they published a great entry of some examples of effective web typography and design.
