@ohsk What's the font you used for the logo type/do we have the rights to use it for web? It'd be great not to use an image for that if possible!

Otherwise, this page is also ready to drop in some body copy!

P.S. I'm also using Lora as the serif instead of Bitter--let me know if you have a preference!

ohsk commented 10 years ago

Font for the logo was Omnes, but I did some slight manipulation to spacing and some characters (ie. the W is really just the M upside down!). Do we lose a lot of advantages by using an image instead?

Lora is looking fine to me!

iuloshi commented 10 years ago

Sweet! I can do a CSS text rotation for the upside down M and apply letter-spacing for kerning. We'll want to browser test to make sure it looks great as many browsers as possible, but I'd much rather use live text instead of an image for search engine indexing, etc.

Here's the details I have from Typekit on Omnes!

Sweet! The logo typeface is working now but I just realized that since I rotated the "M" to make a "W" in CSS, if you were to copy & paste the live text in the logo, you'd have "NEMMARKET GOODS." Is that a big issue? :/ Also note the Typekit badge in the lower right of the browser window.

I tweaked the styling of the h3's so that it's Lora like on the Lookbook page and centered/styled the button. Let me know if you have any preferences there!

I think this is mostly donezo, so I'm a close it out. The only major issue is the "NEMMARKET GOODS" thing, but we can revisit when I add the logo type lockup on the homepage.
