This site is really striking in it’s simplicity. The type treatment and hierarchy is perfect and the layout has a great balance. It’s very fine and sharp in it’s details and feels very ‘booky’ in that sense that you really want to dive in and flip through pages. I really like the way the links are a bold, red, sans-serif, mixed in with the copy set in Georgia. It’s as if it separates the printed (as in paper) from the web-only stuff (like links). It’s a subtle effect that works really well.

Large, close targets are faster to hit than small, distant ones, that’s Fitts’s Law. A look at the 1954 rule behind buttons, prime and magic pixels, thumb zones, and dark patterns.
Your working memory holds about four things, not seven. Chunking groups loose information into meaningful units that slip past that limit, the psychology behind phone numbers, scannable pages, multi-step forms, and grouped navigation.
The Call to Action hasn’t changed in a decade, but the bar has. A fresh look at prominence, copy, mobile tap targets, and accessibility, with lessons from three major design systems.
