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.
