   yeah … well ..I don’t know. It’s not for me.

   The first things I look at, are the small letters a and g. The a is alright and there is no little g. Maybe I find the offset dot a little distracting.

   Most of the time I like sans, but sometimes I like Georgia. It depends on the line-height. I like Georgia when it is like on http://www.nytimes.com/ front page.

      I like Georgia as well – except at large size, when I think it look too heavy. Unfortunately, blog headers are the place with the large size is most noticeable.

      If you haven’t already seen this, I think you will like it:

      Chrish Peason on the Golden Ratio Calculator and there is a link in the article to the calculator itself.

         Oooohhh… thank you! I loved it! Okay, he lost me a bit down with all the maths, but I got it in general, and the calculator is now bookmarked. Brilliant!!!

            Glad you like it.

            I glazed over at the maths, too. 🙂
