This site is a design portfolio for Ian Grivois and a place to share his experiments and writing.Aften Screenperforms superbly at small sizes on the screen and has a serene and elegant character.Lyonhas a familiarity that gives a sense of quiet to bodies of text, perhaps because the tyepface draws upon references to the ubiquitous Times Roman. Lyon also has a distinctive and contemporary flare that does not prevent the reader from getting lost in text and ideas. The reserve of the roman cut joyously lets loose in an exuberant italic.Gibsonis a wonderful workhorse typeface that is used here for headlines. The overall texture of the words have a beautiful fit and finish and there is gorgeous subtlety to be found in the reverse curves of the italics. It is a typeface that raises funds for a good cause (Canada's national design organization) and has an exceptional price point. I am surprised it is not seen more widely on the web. The portfolio slideshow has H&Co's Sentinel for headings, but that is not a standard part of site's type palette. Overall, it is thrilling to have such quality web type available for design and to practice how best to use these on a personal site.
