It has sparked much debate re fonts and news layout among my colleagues at a time we are debating a new design for our news sites. Your new layout has addressed what I found the biggest problem with the old page - it was too top heavy and the content was pushed extremely far down. Now there is lots to see above the "fold" and the thumbnails really brighten up the page and draw you deeper into the site. Why did you choose a seriffed font? Do you think that seriffed fonts are going to become more popular on news sites? When will you tackle the rest of the site and what are the biggest challenges to do the whole job? Do readers struggle to find their way around between the FP nav and the rest of the site? I really enjoy the new front page.
