Have we had enough of these demos yet to be bored of them? The typeface and jquery effect are two different things. Frankly the header isn't even a good demo of the typeface, it's rather distracting from the quality of the typeface itself. For example, the C doesn't normally have a lighting bolt through it. The damn header doesn't even display a sentence or a full "title" to see if it would be decent as a headline font.

Muddying up your own font by overusing a jquery gimmick? I hate to be that stodgy guy because I don't have a blanket hate of jquery but it doesn't seem like the best way of displaying a typeface :/



I concur, the header put me completely off the font, but after scrolling and seeing the examples of each weight I actually quite like it.

I personally don't mind the scrolling effect (there are much worse examples out there).

What I find really off-putting is that I scrolled and the page did not go down, not until letters completely flew away. I had the uncanny feeling I was required to work against the page.
