Iteration.
It occurred to me that, in the unlikely event that I start blogging in earnest again, nobody will want to read any of it with the site in this state.
So I’m firing up my first draft of a long, long, long-awaited dsandler.org refresh. At first glance it probably looks like just another tightly-tracked Helvetica design; while I do believe that that particular Max Miedinger Old Style look is timeless, I’m actually going for something a little different. Font nerds with Avenir (or Gotham, a slightly boxier substitute) installed will see more of what I’m going for: something a little more open and friendly. [Update: See a screenshot of the Avenir version.]
Feedback is welcome in the comments or shouted to @dsandler.
Twitter feedback
al3x @dsandler I’d click it.
boredzo @dsandler Much improved; thank you.
dangerdave @dsandler v. pretty. But the Avenir family is expensive: I can’t afford Sandler Platinum.
davidrperry @dsandler new layout = elegant & clean. I did get a kick out of the temp version, though!
