    what is there to critique outside of a bit of sifr and... nothing?

    • I'm asking for alternate typeface recommendations for Hoefler Text. The crit was an aside (interested in what people think, even at this early stage).Mojo
    • k... but... there's nothing to look at or think about... put more online... give me something to browse - else... *yawn ;)PonyBoy
    • Also, I haven't used sIFR. I've used @font-face CSS font embedding.Mojo
    • Anyway, the point is that I'm asking for typeface recommendations from people who have used @font-face.

    • :) regardless of what you used... you put up a 1/4 page of nothing and announced your type 'looks great'...PonyBoy
    • ... truth is that there's nothing to really critique here... build out the site then ask for thoughts.PonyBoy
    • the font takes it's time loading too... and it's not that pretty as large as it is... (just my opinion... take it as you want.)PonyBoy
    • Are you on Windows or mac? I think it looks quite nice in OSX (using Hoefler) but rubbish in Windows.Mojo
    • osx... same browsers too... it renders rather cleanly (it's pretty... no doubt about it) - I guess... i just wasn't...PonyBoy
    • ... understanding what you were looking for as far as a critique initially :) the hoef. font renders very nicely indeed. :)PonyBoy
    • ..but you think the typefaces don't look good together?Mojo
