30 Blog Designs with Killer Typography
A killer design is one thing – but one that also uses the right typography is (in my opinion) on a whole other level compared to those that just ‘look pretty’. Typography is needed with blog designs because, well, the blog is built to speak your mind, right? So, if your blog isn’t readable then it fails to do it’s job.
So today I’m going to show you 30 awesome blog designs that have killer typography and also do a well rounded job of making things look nice and also making things readable. I hope you enjoy the inspiration.

I’d have to say Brian Hoff’s is my favorite on this list. He has so much delicious whitespace that it makes even his relatively small type effective. The colors are great, too, it’s rare to see a clean site with nice color rather than just white.

Definitely some inspiring designs here..makes me think about changing my own around..

Although I am familiar with most of the above featured sites , there are a few I have not seen before . However, my all time fave’s are the : Inspect Element , Curious Romain & Abduzeedo although all of the other sites are rockin as well .

And where is the explanation of “Why is this site in category of great typography designs?”? Although I like the list style posts and blogs I’m disappointed when I see no explanations or descriptions at all. I think it would be OK to drop at least a line about every design. And to be honest with you to me typography on all of sites is almost the same, although I did have find some interesting designs on list.

Nice collection of sites. I think getting the balance between a mixture of serif and sans serif fonts on a website can really make an impact on the design.
