The new Myspace, designed by Josephmark, is unlike anything you remember from the infamous user-customizable disarray of the old social network. The design approach is more authoritarian/top-down, but results in a much cleaner, more sophisticated look. A large variety of views and layouts are supported entirely by multiple weights of Benton Sans.

We’ll have a more in-depth report when the site is fully available, but for now you can read more at Co.design and The Next Web. TNW coincidentally just relaunched with Benton Sans, too. No wonder they’re a fan. 

Update: Webtype has more on the newly launched site, app, and TV advertising.

  1. Stunning design — will it be enough for users to appear?

  2. Wow! What a tremendous upgrade. Can’t wait to see it live. I wonder if the content and experience will be up to par with the UI.
