RALEWAY, submitted by mattmcinerney

Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface, designed in a single thin weight. It is a display face that features both old style and lining numerals, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than it’s neo-grotesque inspired default character set. If you’d like to see more characters, check out the PDF specimen.

CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THIS FONT

We’re already loving this newest typeface by our very own Matt McInerney, but we’d like to open the floor and hear what you all think about it.

So for those of you who aren’t familiar with the drill, for the next 7 days, you can help us decide whether or not we should add Raleway to The League’s font collection by casting a vote. You’re also welcome to post comments and other feedback along with your votes. After the 7 day period, we’ll announce what the outcome is.

To vote, simply leave an answer to the question below in this format: VOTE: YES or VOTE: NO

So what’s your vote for Raleway?

I voted “YES!” I would love to see this typeface with a couple more weights. Maybe someday…

Absolutely loving the boldness behind this design. Your brand should make a statement and, damn, if this one doesn’t!

“

‘Hardcore’ design is design focused on results. We consider and weigh business, marketing, communications (and other) challenges, and work to resolve them through design. The end-result doesn’t have to look good, even though it might, but it absolutely must work.

For hardcore designers, “does it work?” is the one question that must be obsessed over.

Improving the YouTube Player

matthewb:

Inky alerted me to a few extra customisation options for YouTube’s video player:

YouTube’s interface lets you choose one of nine colour schemes, adding two parameters to the embed code: color1 and color2. Once you select a theme, you can edit these parameters to use any colours you like.

His suggestion of using a solid white background behind the player controls improves the look of the player out of sight, so I remixed my Vimeo customisation script to do the same for YouTube embeds. Here’s the jQuery function:
$("object").each(function() {
    if ($(this).find("param[value^='http://www.youtube.com']").length > 0) {
        var parent = $(this).parent();
        var youtubeCode = parent.html();
        var params = "";
        if (youtubeCode.toLowerCase().indexOf("
If you’re unfamiliar with such things, there’s a ready-to-install version that includes the jQuery directives to run the code as soon as the DOM has loaded. Let me know if you strike any problems. Here it is in action:
