Don’t be so cock-a-hoop. The CSS Maniacs didn’t use their magical powers to find this design. I was submitting my own work to some galleries and felt a bit dirty about it so, somehow, I decided to spend a moment putting this site forward to two galleries too. Well done anyhow – WeLoveWP sent me an email congratulating me for making a marvellous website (hah! – fortunately they sent an identical one about something that was genuinely mine, so it’s not all tragic), and they said that only one in three submissions avoid the chaff-bucket.
‘[t]housands of new visitors’ sounds like a bit of an exaggeration based on my experience, but clearly this design keeps its magic more in thumbnail form.
Don’t like this sudden change to a sans-serif typeface myself. Soho Gothic? If they were real album covers, your printers would be having a field day.
Thanks Josh. I did wonder how Enormous found CSS Mania’s radar.
The new font is Fedra Sans Display 2 from Typotheque, http://www.typotheque.com/fonts/fedra_sans_display_2 and I’m very surprised that you don’t like it. I thought it was right up your typographical street.
Tell me more about your print knowledge. I’m intrigued. Why would the printers have a field day?
I just harboured the sneakiest bit of suspicion that it could be supposed that they would enjoy charging lots of money for repeatedly changing things, that’s all. I actually don’t know anything.
If your suspicions are correct, and if we ever decide to print the album covers instead of making them available digitally, I will almost certainly be their most profitable client.
