Sorry, I’m back again.

HappyCog http://www.happycog.com/ is a website that is not about typography per se but uses it to fine effect. Ditto for their company blog, Cognition http://cognition.happycog.com/

Gesta renders well on the Metamarkets landing page, and many other pages of the site. The starkness of the background is a bit of a shock, but very clean.

However, I was rather shocked by how nearly unreadable Gesta was on the Metamarkets blog, at least for me. Font size was tiny and actually reminded me of pre-WOFF supported fonts. The choice of colors for links didn’t help. I do have low vision problems, but generally find that websites that are attentive to typography (or good sense with fonts and color choices) are always more readable than other sites for me.

On a more positive note, and since you asked that we share sites that we liked, I was surprised and pleased with the fonts used on several German web development sites. Java, dot Net and Erlang developers are not known for their use of harmonious design or beautiful fonts! Yet some do a nice job of it!.

We just launched a site for an animated short (www.plusminusmovie.com) that’s using Trajan via Typekit but had to use an image for the smaller sizes. Looks great otherwise!
