for the graphic design geek in all of us...

Hypulp is a new effort by Paul Baron (recently profiled in Wired.com and TheFeature) and Paulus Dreibholz which "documents the influence of the internet on print design." Although only a few weeks old, discussions on the site include the use of web fonts in print, barcodes linking to online content, and other topics in that milieu.

I love that someone picked up on the web fonts that are screen specific showing up in print. It really sticks out like a sore thumb when you see a giant headline in bloated, blocky verdana on a printed page. It makes me cringe, especially at large sizes. Georgia does look surprisingly nice at large headline sizes when printed though.
