I’ve been playing this evening. A re-design1 on the tumblr platform — holy father, doesn’t Garamond look downright gorgeous on the mac?!
Even the sub-par Windows font rendering engine does OK at the slightly larger font sizing2 I’ve selected. If you’re a Microsoft bunny and don’t have Garmond, then you should be ashamed3 and go get it, otherwise the design will gracefully degrade to Georgia.
I was aiming for a printed, softened-black-on-off-white look, and I *think* I nailed it. Well pleased.
