Type designer Martin Majoor’s website now uses two of his personal type designs, FF Nexus Serif and FF Scala Sans, which, coincidentally, happen to be two of my favourites.

Google’s Think Quarterly is one of my favourite blog designs. Beautiful illustrations, crisp photography and, of course, Bell MT. This from Microsoft:

The original of this face was made 200 years ago and is thought by some to mark the introduction of the "modern" faces. It was made for Bell's Type Foundry by Richard Austin at about the time that the face we now know as Firmin Didot also appeared. Bell did not have a bold weight at that time. This new TrueType version, made in 1992 by Monotype Typography, tries to emulate the roughness that they imagine characterized typefounding in the 1780s. The metal version was a favorite of many designers who used it to bring some character to the text they were printing.

Paula Scher’s ‘toned down’ signage for a seven-story garage located at 13-17 East 54th Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues.

Fray is described as the quarterly of true stories and original art.

Issues 1 and 2 relied heavily on Georgia. For issue 3 the site switches to Chaparral and Proxima Nova with Archer used on the cover of the print edition.

The site uses the exljbris Font Foundry’s Calluna and Calluna Sans, delivered by Typekit. A redesign is under way, so I’m posting a screenshot here for posterity as much as anything else.
