Web Typography

The Design Element
Typography can be a beautiful thing, and sometimes it can be the most elegant
part of a design. The sites featured below followed this model and choose
to use the type as the primary focus. This reduces the need to rely on
strong photography or illustration and forced them to resort to basic elements
such as hierarchy, balance, and composition. The end results are elegant
and very readable.
