    Love the button style. Don’t like the small caps headers ... just looks not typographically sound. Go 1-2px/10-20% larger than the body copy. Nicely done!

        Looks nice, but the typography is all over the place. Some of the fonts are way to big and you really need to work on your white space.

          I’m on Safari. The problem with small caps emulated on any platform is that the character weights are considerably different between the large/small caps. Just looks bad to me. Aliasing is fine; form is not. smiley

              Yes, but now your headers are smaller than your body copy under it. I’d at least make them the same size, if not 10-20% larger.

                  You’re really close... you’ve also got the aforementioned whitespace issues. If it were my site (and I’m picky as heck when it comes to typography), I’d make the body copy under those headers the same size and balance the leading/line-height between the lines. You’ll have much easier to read copy that your eye doesn’t fall into the gaps between things. I think line-height is the most mis-understood (one of them anyway) elements of web typography.

                  For a wonderful typography primer as it relates to the web, go visit Mark Boulton who just so happens to be from your side of the pond. smiley
