Another blog series I'm getting started within this post, this one is called Typographically Speaking. The idea is simply to catalogue some real examples of a type in use on a website. Normally when you are starting out with a new project, type choices can be very daunting and it's very difficult to fully visualise how your choices will actually look like in the wild, so collecting examples where some selected typography seems to work well can hopefully be a good starting point.

There is, of course, Fonts in Use and Type Sample but on a personal level, I want to have it closer to base :)

On this first edition, I like the use of Larish Neue rendered on the headlines @ The Daily Dot

One of my favourite examples of 'a better experience through design', is what I enjoy almost on a daily basis and hope is arriving when I'm stood at the bus stop waiting to go somewhere; the new generation Routemaster.

I love how significant a step up it feels from the other buses and how satisfying it feels to be on a public transport service that manages to delight. I recently stumbled upon The Vessel and was glad to know the architects behind it – Heatherwick – were also who worked on giving us the much-loved Routemaster.
