   Some really great examples of typography. Big type on these home-pages give an instant impact of importance. Love the way type is used in most of these designs above.

   My favorite ones have to be Miiks and Matt Hamm’s typography.

   Thanks for sharing.

   Excellent collection. Another thumbs up for Miiks, whose play on white space caught my eye immediately. I also love Denise Chandler’s illustrative touch.

    Great designs. I see most use a big picture in the layout and just type on top. Nice perspective I’ll try it!

    Yes. Your selection of websites with an especially typography stil is nice. There are some great ideas to improve the usability of a webside. The focus of a webside could be clearer and directly for the user of this webside.

    I love this style the most for these types of sites by Denise Chandler and Kyle Steed. Most of the sites listed here are pretty amazing too but these stand out to me more lately. Nice!
