Lately, I've been getting into calligraphy in my art. I've gotten obsessed with how the letters are formed and how to draw them effectively. In fact, I find that most of the art I'm doing tends to deal with letters in some fashion. And it's fun to use type decoratively. What's interesting is that I hadn't really thought too much about this when it comes to Web design. Sure, I have lots of information on my site about fonts and typography, but even though I put it together with my offline designs, I didn't make the connection to online.

Then I found this post on The Design Cubicle: Type is the backbone of good web design. In it, Brian discusses many simple ways to improve your designs just through how the type is displayed. I love it!
