    These sites look awesome and have made good use of @font-face I have used it on my site but it dosen’t have a huge impact on my design compared to these sites. Thanks for sharing, make me want to re-design my site.

    This List is useless and wasted time.
    At least you should have researched which fonts are used and how they are implemented.

      Agreed. Just another list post looking for hits.
      We want insights on why these 30, and these 30 only, made the list.

    Thank you for a lovely selection of font replacement designs. Real text on your site is important for SEO but using the same fonts over and over can be really boring. I love the likes of T’wo Paper Dolls’, the mix of type on different levels would be complex to recreate and the way it rolls over the two colours is very impressive! I also like the simplicity of ‘YEBO creative’ and html5 lab is really colourful.

    Some very creative fonts here. Usually text is overshadowed by design and imagery but when it looks different from the usual web fonts it really is memorable.

    Great collection of websites. I really like minimalistic websites that utilize typography in the design. I really like that The City is Burning layout.

    @font face is a good tool, i have used it a few times on designs but not on my main site. The only problem with @fon-face is the copyright issue with paid fonts etc… but there is ample good free fonts to play about with.

    Thanks!
