Design Trends 2013 - Flat And Minimal

Can I venture that flat design only really works and is aesthetically pleasing with good typography ?
And that webfont typography is fairly recent, and that flat design is possibly its first big influence ?
Imagine a lovely modern, light, feminine, flat interface with jagged Arial or Verdana 11pt in it - it would look unfinished as people's eyes are so so so tired of the old school of faces - Arial, Verdana, Times, Georgia - that was it for a long time, that's all you could use. Now everyone has screen-smoothing and there are thousands of valid, high-quality faces to use. Clients don't know why they're loving these simple, muted interfaces - it is, and really always was, about typography. We're just having a brief moment of clarity before it gets crazy again :)

I was also thinking along the same lines, miko, that aside from great type (legibility), another thing would be color palettes. I find that some of this trend has a lot to do with color, albeit none of those are really new either.

From Pig:

Valido points, but I think it makes more sense when it's the opposite, too much bevels, too much photoshop, over designing something has to make up for maybe a not so strong concept? (not trying to undermine photohop skills)
But its like this so called HDR look on photos (note that I'm not calling it HDR photography) when its just an ordinary photo with filter leves cranked up to 110%
It could work both ways really, but I'd like to think that good design looks cleaner

NOTE OPEN
the whole point of this thread is not to pretend that 'flat design' is new... many of you seems to stick to that point trying to say "it's not new!" ... Saying something is a trend doesnt mean its new.
