It's a vast improvement, Jim.
Not that the old one was terrible, but this is a much richer experience, and the structure is very direct and "intuitive".
Props for the designers section!
I hope you sell gazillions of fonts.
However, I agree with Darrel about the nav text. It might not be the size, just that the text seems cramped. Maybe an alternate face that has more variety of character width, or more letterspacing/tracking.
I agree, great improvements for the reasons already mentioned above. It's more open and accessible.
Also, even though I can read it, that navigation type is pretty microscopic. If you like the size, perhaps a rollover in the banner up top that show the selected title at a larger type size would cover you?
Hi Jim,
In the top 10 sometimes when you click on the font name directly it takes you to the wrong page (clicking Digna leads to Nova etc) The zoom icon seems to work better.
In addition to the small nav text, I'd increase the text size in the sidebar one level. Adding a touch of leading will lighten it up again.
Generally, I'd suggest giving more information about your fonts. The following should be available from the individual font's page IMHO:
Poster showing (I like it!)
All the weights in the family stated explicitly
(Does it have small caps? Italic? DemiBold Condensed Expert Alternates?).
Maybe a character map.
PDF Specimen!
Information about the design
Info about the designer. I see their name, and I see a designers section... link em up!
Did I mention PDF Specimen?
All of the above will help me to trust the quality of your fonts, and let me confirm it on my own.
Cheers!
Randy
