There’s several things in this design that really shouldn’t work, the super tight leading on the nav, overall the design has a rushed feel to it. But I just like this site design. I like the super tight leading on the nav, I think it’s actually a neat little effect when you mouse over a link. The background is sort of weird but it’s striking. Thw giant header text is really big but somehow it works for me. I also really like the way the blog posts are handled, breaking into the second row of the grid makes the layout feel a little exotic to me.
