Lovely layout on this site, makes me want to scroll and explore more of the site which is great.
Everything about the site screams simplicity and I for one really like that – the focus is all on the content and the Reader, which also looks quite snazzy!
Umm… yea. Parent company site is using Arial as images in the navigation, really??? haha.. I like the black and white but I feel there is no dimension on this. Nothing to keep me there for more than 5 seconds.
@Rich – fair nuff! I hadn’t seen the images used in the nav! I guess I never expected anyone to make images using Arial! It has fallen down slightly in my opinion now…..

@Dan; layout may be a positive, but for me there is nothing that makes me want to scroll and explore more of this. Just my opinion though.

Uhh… Just looks like they took the apple.com product pages and reversed the colors.
I like it and the design of the product itself is pretty sweet as well. The high DPI sure makes for nice icons.
@Rich good call. I didnt even notice that right away.
Why in the world would they use images for arial lol.
Press Strg+A to see the secret of this page O.O
OMG, never heard about “text-indent=-9999px”??? xD
The page feels a bit awkward and lacks a defining characteristic.
@Balthier – that’s an old CSS trick. Very old.

it’s NOT arial…
@andrea – I’d be interested to know what the font is if it’s not Arial as it is so familiar to that typeface!
Looks like Univers
The nav titles look like live text to me? Not sure what font it is tho?
Site has changed already … too bad, it looked pretty cool in the pic.
