    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….

    fantastic web design work… It’s usually very hard to make a site look good with just typography!

    Really impressive collection of website designs and great examples to follow! Thank you for the nice article

    Great collection love it, big font and words can have a great effect. But interms of content on pages I generally use a cufon of a nice clean, rounded san-sarif font for titles, other then that good old arial. Cufon has made this possible, I would never use a font other then Arial or Times without cufon.

    Matt shared this link with me when we were debating this style for my website, I do love this ‘big typography’ idea and it seems to be the ‘big popular thing’ at this point in time.

    Im going to pass this on to my designer who is working on a new site for me, I really like some of these ‘big’ fonts and this style of typography! Thanks.
