20 Websites with Beautiful Typography

As an experience design guy I tend to think that aesthetics and branding are all fine and good as long as they don't get in the way of the purpose of the site, support what the user wants/needs to do. Typography is where those two ideologies collide - clarity and simplicity are usable. there are some exceptions where types is pushed to the limits of discernability but for the most part it's a discipline of clarity. Six Revisions has posted 20 sites that use type in clear yet interesting ways. It's no surprise that many are design sites, but still, good is good....let them pave the way.
