For this mid-century furniture retailer in Brighton (UK) New York firmEames Century Modernfor the logo,Archive Antique Extended(roughed up wood type, similar to Hellenic Wide), andCabin, a humanist sans inspired by Johnston and Gill. The overall effect works pretty well, and really puts me in the mood to buy some vintage goods.

There's a possible technical pitfall, though. I wonder if the Archive Antique webfonts really hold up at small sizes on Windows. I welcome readers on that OS to chime in. Otherwise, I can't think of a really good Hellenic Wide alternative for the web. Dispatch Extended is probably the best bet.

One other problem: other text, set inGeorgia, is generally too small, which is especially troublesome when the text runs the full width of the site.

Still, the site a handsome effort worthy of the company name, and it seems to be serving them well.
