Tidbit: Mccoy.co.uk typography

I happen to stumble upon mr. McCoy’s website just recently, but I already like his work and his attention to detail. These pencil drawings look awesome and really add to an air of closeness, while the whole colour theme looks pretty and easy on the eyes.

I can see many flaws in the way information flows in McCoy.co.uk (and I’m sure you can see the same in my blog design anyway) but I absolutely love the way he treated headers:

McCoy.co.uk headers

The italics and color works well, while the dotted borders add much to the whole “textbook” sentiment that this website tries to create. The little icons before the text may have no usability value, but they’re cute and don’t distract as much as big, glossy icons.

I love the way he treated the menu in the same way, making it look like a textbook index:

Well played typography, mr. McCoy.
