Well folks, in terms of holidays, my favorite time of year has arrived and to celebrate I’m offering the Enotmik typeface 50% off until December 31st, 2008. That’s right, only $10 for this sexy face. You can use it to design your fancy holiday cards!

All you have to do is enter in the discount code at checkout and you’ll receive the 50% discount! The code is GRIDS. Good one huh? Enjoy!

I’m going to take a little break this week, but I will be back first thing Monday morning to satisfy your design obsession. I want to wish all the US readers a wonderful Thanksgiving! Have a great week everyone.

NetNewsWire Style 2.5

Version 2.5 of my NetNewsWire style is now available. The design is simple and clean with a great deal of focus on typography and legibility. In this new version I’ve made some improvements that will enhance the reading experience.

Another enhancement that I was hoping to implement was a consistent vertical baseline. But because of inconsistencies within RSS feeds it was very difficult to accomplish, probably even impossible. For example in certain feeds blocks of copy are not wrapped in the paragraph tag, instead just use the break tag. For this reason it’s hard to control the text and elements like images.

Anyhow, I’m very exited about the features I was able to add.

New Features in Version 2.5

Widows
Prevention of typographic widows in titles and body copy via jQWidon’t.
Capitalization
All words in title are capitalized.
Image Resize
Images wider than 600px are resized to fit the fixed width of the style.

Special thanks to Oliver Boermans for helping me with some bugs.

Jaw dropping work coming out of UK based studio Mytton Williams. I absolutely love the work they did for Mivart Studios.
