   Is this the lighter more mainstream Obox you're working on?

   Yeah it is.

   We haven't started any of the CSS yet, still perfecting everything in Fireworks then once it is all cohesive we will move into the coding.

   Thanks dudes. I'm trying to go unconventional with the home page :)

   I like it overall. Any reason to use Futura in the headline instead of Myriad all the way through? Myriad semibold or bold looks nice in all caps as well. Futura doesn't seem to be enough of a departure from Myriad to merit choosing a different font. If you went with something that was a big contrast, I would understand it more. Great job!

   @Jake - I feel that it is a good enough contrast, Myriad in caps and bold at a certain font size does not have the same impact as Futura does. We have been using Futura for years now in our titles so I felt it was worthwhile keeping ;)

   For the main site I have had to revert to "Droid Sans" from TypeKit because not everyone has Myriad and finding a web-safe font which has the same x-height is impossible. Turns out the Typekit font looks better anyway... :)
