If you are new to TDC and didn’t know — well lets just say I love me some good ol’ typography — I come from a traditional print design background where layout and typefaces were used more flexibly. With (more) recent advances in web technologies and real font integration services, such as Typekit, the web has definitely become a more beautiful and interesting place aesthetically.
I often collect and save examples of layout and typography that interests me or I find enjoyable and beautiful, so below I’ve gathered 30 websites showcasing beautiful typography and layout design for your viewing pleasures. Enjoy.

Also if you are interested, I recently had the opportunity to visit and chat with some new friends over at Two Paperdolls letterpress shop and design studio and managed to take some pictures of their beautiful antique letterpress machines, wood blocks and other studio shots (with my new DSLR). Feel free to check out the photos on my Flickr page.
Very nice pages, thx
Love these designs. Looking into going back to basics and getting the pencil out. I love the textures used and the depth that the sites have. Also the simple designs too!
Great article to look at for inspiration!
