It's one thing to understand them, but to really have a sense for how it will all come together is something else. As you say: look at his web site (and yours, for that matter)! I hadn't heard of Blueprint CSS before, although looking at it now it seems like an elegant and simple - yet powerful - design solution. I think I'll definitely have to find some time to play with it. Cheers, Lloyd I love how he just ‘gets’ the relationship between type and design.

I saw him at SXSW last year, giving a talk about web type. He really understands it from the design side, and he's translating it to the web in a way that really goes back to the basics of typography: visual rhythm, etc. I mean, just look at his web site! :-) Speaking of web type, have you played with blueprint CSS? http://code.google.com/p/blueprintcss/ Mark Boulton kicks ass.
