Yulia’s paper form lettering is amazing, and very&nbsp;beautiful.

This site is one of my favorites! i really enjoyed this article and all of the inspiration I get from this website. I know of a website that shares ad revenue with writers and they encourage people to use creative typography in their articles, so there are some good examples there too.&nbsp;http://www.sayitaloud.com

Margus Tamm’s alphabet is sweet & Yulia Brodskaya is pure awesome.

I’m so much a fan of the green masthead. I liked the red. It went with the whole “love”&nbsp;theme.

Such a good post! I got to learn a lot!!!! Keep up the good work. I like your new green logo but I liked the older one more and if you can keep the older one somewhere in your archive for reference it would be&nbsp;great.

Good to see you. The green colour was borrowed from some illustrations by the author of the upcoming article on diacritics. Saw it, and immediately thought, that’s for iLT. Dropping the big type header was the hardest decision. However, I will from time to time continue to use alternate mastheads for articles.

I’m with Ivo on the so-called eco font. I laughed a lot when I first read about it. If one is really interested in saving ink, then one will simply print low res grey scale, or use a smaller type size. Additionally, it’s the images that eat up the ink; not the text. I’m all for saving scarce resources, but&nbsp;…

The Ecofont makes no sense. Every Light weight saves more ink and is much more&nbsp;readable.

A really “greener” font (not meaning the color) is Ecofont (http://www.ecofont.co.uk/) - beautiful font? useful font? thoughtful&nbsp;font?

Hi -

I like your new look, and the green is an interesting experiment. However, it seemed to me a couple of days ago you had a neat new logo up there as well, with an italicized version of your ilt, in the red and black. I really liked that but don’t see it anywhere now. I liked the simple green with the black on a white background, and I think using red elsewhere would be nice as I think the red really did pop and make this site sort of bold and visual and was a type of branding for it, as well. Just my opinion! I think that it is good to experiment with different looks.

As a web designer, I can’t limit myself to one consistent look (for better or worse), as I am always trying to see what new things I can improve upon or come up with, so the website and colors are an evolving process. Maybe the same is true for your blog. Something I noticed recently on the Typophile site, was their new logo, which was contained inside of a red square, with an alternating “t” designed in several different unique typfaces. It was like an animated flash logo, that changed all the time. I have never seen that anyplace else, but I have to say it worked for the typography site quite well. I think this idea could work for your site too - and to some extent already you have used it by changing your masthead. Anyway, I think you should put your logo back up there at the top with the&nbsp;masthead.

Loving the new fresh look and the subtle changes. I liked your previous design as well, but this one is growing on me. I think the reorganized sidebar is a big improvement and really cleans things up. Great read as&nbsp;always.

Loved the 3D type poster !

The type experiments from http://type.fwis.com/ are indeed a great idea. Making a typeface every day, now that is some&nbsp;ambition.

We’ve started using Skolar as bodycopy for our new internal brochure series about type history and for our next project book. david has done a great job so far. perhaps if david (greets to you) could make an greek and cyrillic version too, we would like to introduce this wonderful type as a secondary corporate typeface (for newsletters and the annual report) for one of our clients later on this&nbsp;year.

With the idea(even if weather patterns aren’t there yet)of spring coming up, a redesign seems like a good, fresh thing. I like the typeface you used, but the color seems a bit off to me, like I’m suddenly viewing the old red titling as colorblind. Perhaps a brighter green a bit might counteract that? Anyway, love your images and links for this week, as&nbsp;usual.

One of my favorite roundups. Thank you.

I just bought Kewl Script a few days ago and playing around with it. Fun.

The GlasHaus - what a treat. Incredible work. Bookmarked that baby.

Love, love, love the acid, olive green. Just the perfect amount of yellow to keep it bright and fresh. And the dark grey pairing is just lovely. Sophisticated.

I miss the larger header and don’t. This is a lovely change, a different feel. It&nbsp;works.

Hi Johno,

Great! Green changes, I love ‘em. But you’ve taken down that big-type masthead, which I really think represented this site’s design. Anyway, never change the favicon, let it be a reminder of all things past.

The Arial thing is simply lol-esque. Bob, sorry if I didn’t use the proper words… it’s late at night and I’m sleepless :) Hope Arial lady won’t mind.

oh wow. the signature thing at the bottom is awesome. Congrats on the few very well-thought design&nbsp;changes.

Ok John, I took the bullet and schooled her about Arial. Somehow even managed to eek in a Mad Max reference in the comment. I need to get out more often, me thinks…

Awesome post. Love Skolar for the header, too,&nbsp;BTW.

I like the olive green in the comments, John. Looks good, no need for looking for another colour combo.

I hope you’ll try a different styling for your dates/comment-link above the headline. I do like the styling for the Headline and byline, but the date part looks out of place for me, a bit on a rough&nbsp;side.

James

Thanks. Yes, some pages, and numerous articles have their own mastheads. The one you see on the home page is the default one.

Here’s a very different one, for example. I started uploading my mastheads to Flickr; must update&nbsp;it.

Beautiful typeface for the header. Just to let you know your old header still seems to be popping up on the ‘Free’ page! A quality article as usual as well, always an interesting&nbsp;read.

To johno: it is just my first comment. I must say I am now positively in love with Sugar Pie, and my credit card starts to jump in my hands :)

As for the green in comments, I think it is definitely worth a try. For the sake of a unified look.&nbsp;;)

Part 5 of the type history series is still in draft. We’re on Sans now — a pretty big one, so I’ll probably split it into two articles. Anyway, not forgotten.

Lauren

Kind words. And quilling — a new one for me. Would love to try that.

Robert

I’m impressed! Yes, Skolar it is.

inspirationbit

Interesting timing: when I first read your comment, that’s exactly what I was thinking about. I’m not sure if I’ll keep the red for the comments formatting. Will try green, and see how it looks; else I’ll try to find an alternate match for the green at colorlovers.

Bedrich

Those menu items are a little light. Might try a darker grey. Thanks for your feedback.

Alice

Thanks. Several people have mailed me re bringing back the brackets. Perhaps they’ll start a petition ;) Well, they won’t be returning, but I’m pleased you liked them.

Helge

Would love to see how you’ve used Skolar.

David

Thanks. Pleased you enjoyed it. Time for me to catch up on your latest posts.

I love your side, it is one of my favorite and I love your new head too, especially the type (skolar) you used. i’ve started using it as a new part of my own companies corporate design.

I am torn. The navigation at the top is very nicely done. I miss the extra large banner type. Olive green is great. But my favorite element of the website was the snazzy comment styling on the main page! The brackets {} that defied html/css standardization… I always came to this site for design inspiration and that always sent a jolt of creativity down my fingertips&nbsp;:)

Great article, refreshing change. My only suggestion would be to make the non-current links on the top navigation stand out a bit more, the light gray is a bit too close to the white background&nbsp;:)
