    Working on the UI for the new Rugby World Cup KickOff website, due for release early next week in time for the tournament. Currently focusing on some different typography options, combining some different typefaces to the norm. I'm quite happy with this combination of Bell Gothic and Minion Pro - it works quite well.

    Love the type. On a readability note, I do struggle to read the fixtures when the team names are one on top of the other, possibly just personal preference! Otherwise, nice work.

    Thanks for the feedback Dan. Interesting point on the readability of stacked team names. I don't have a problem personally but I'd be keen to know if others think the same.

    No New Zealand influences in the design then? Or is there more to come?

    lovely type combo Si. I reckon it could do with slightly more breathing space (padding). If you cross your eyes a bit, it kinda looks more like 3 columns than 3 rows.

    @Paul: More to come on the NZ references - this is just focusing on the main grid of content.

    @Peter: do you mean vertical whitespace between each event?

    It definitely needs more vertical white space between the rows, as @PeteB pointed out.

    I'm not certain about all the centring. It works reasonably well for the nations, but not so well for the date and time. I guess space is an issue?

    Nice work Si.

    I'll agree with Peter on the breathing space. Vertical padding would be a blessing. The horizontal details seem too close to the teams! While we're on the subject of breathing space, the data to the left & right seem awfully squashed together. I would increase the line-height a little bit.

    That letterpress effect seems a bit overpowering too. Why don't you try reducing it a smidge, and bringing it closer to the text and then adding the same shadow effect to the hashed horizontal details.

    Other than that, nice work and I am looking forward to seeing how it progresses along with the NZ references you speak of :)
