Since most of what we’ve been working on lately has been for the web, we’ve not gotten to use the same variety of typefaces that we do when working on print material. However, after looking at these two sites today it’s a reminder of how far a well executed font can go.

Hoefler & Frere-Jones: www.typography.com

This crew has got their thing down. You know it’s going well when your company has 10 people and all you’re doing is creating the best typefaces you can. My favorites are the new Vitesse and Gotham Narrow series.

House Industries: www.houseind.com

They not only provide great font files, but have also incorporated their work into great design pieces. I love the Slab Blocks and PLINC Blocks as well as the pillows. And a cast iron ampersand for $250, who couldn’t use one!?
