A couple of years ago I blogged about the Curzon Cinemas website, which I criticised for its unnecessary use of Flash. Well, I’m not sure how long ago it happened, but Curzon got a redesign, and it looks great.
New look Curzon Cinemas website.
- Classy, unfussy typography and black and white core styling
- Nice colour-coding for the 5 different cinemas
- Nice, logical 3-column layout: listings on the left, description and video in the middle, stuff to catch your eye in the far right
- Cufón custom font replacement
- Stacks of javascript for Flash-like fade effects, AJAX-loading and showing/hiding elements
I also love the fact that each new release has a trailer embedded in the page. Excellent stuff.
Hello- what font does the Curzon Cinema use? I love it…
Thanks.
Hi Annick – the Curzon site uses Futura Bold and Futura Medium, rendered using Cufon. I agree, it looks good.
