...and with some font tweakage, I'd still use it.
What font would you like, good master of the fonts?
Hey, you're the designer. I don't even play one on TV. As it exists right now, "Illuminated" does an excellent job of hearkening to a book that is painstakingly crafted by the cloistered elites for the occasional, ceremonial enjoyment of the cloistered elites. I certainly approve of the (decidedly bourgeois) intent, but readability could go up a titch. For one thing, quoted text is like 6 point right now - but only sometimes. Sometimes its in like 15-point Elvish. Oh, but wait. You already fucked with that. Now it's like 32-point courier new. You know, at this point I say up the contrast a little (pale out the background a bit, throw a bit more black into the text), up the standard font a point or two to make up for the fact that it's distressed, bring the quotes back down to earth and let it simmer. I'll run it for a while and see what I hate. How's that sound? EDIT: Hyperlinks should be more discernible as well. Maybe riff off the teal and gold in the side banners? Hey, you could even extend them to the wheels.
Yeah, we are on that. insomniasexx. forwardslash
