    Awesome. I love big typography. Some people get carried away with it, but all in all I think it can be real good looking. And these people listed here aren’t novices by any stretch.

    A lot of nice work shown here. I’m a fan of large typography. It gets the point across nicely in a bold yet elegant way. Thanks for sharing.

    Surely, big typography is a trend right now, and I like it.
    This showcase however consists of websites that, for a great deal, we’ve been able to see already in so many similar showcases.

    Some great sites here, but I’m amazed to see predominantly text based websites in Flash ?!?!? Is it just me, or is that weird….
