I'm honoured that you were checking out my older articles here ;-) I never say no to virtual get-togethers for a drink or two. Unless one day I happen to come over to Bristol, or you visit Vancouver :-) wohoo… this post is over a year old, I wrote it when Inspiration Bit was only two months old and I didn’t know many designers I’ve be-friended now thanks to blogging, and certainly didn’t know that it was you who designed Grow site.

I was reading your typography pieces and stumbled across this. I owe you a drink sometime. Many thanks! Wow Vivien, I never realised you cited Grow once upon a time.

These two types look very similar and <a href="http://www.iliveonyourvisits.com/helvetica/" rel="nofollow">this test</a> proves it.

Well, it turns out that Khoi Vinh used Arial for the main body font, and all headings except H1: font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; Only for h1 he specified {font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;} Actually, you know what, Stephen - we’re both wrong and right:

I was looking for type inspiration as I am redesigning my site with type in mind. I would also suggest a look at http://garrettdimon.com/archives/2007/2/16/designing_for_content/ It isn't fancy, but it is very solid. That’s a nice list.
