Nice.

I'm just starting a new project (in about 30 minutes) and i'll be running with this theme as the initial template =)

I like it. Today, I saw copy.com's landing page and really enjoyed that too. Bootstrap without being bootstrap.

I like the menu, it's a good change from the standard bootstrap sites that are everywhere now.

Anyone else put off by the poor font rastering? ( http://i.imgur.com/4Jcc56U.png - notice the 'e', 'o', and 'a').

What should be done here? Use google web fonts? Just use different fonts that don't have this issue? I'd love to hear more thoughts on this issue from font experts.

Are you on Chrome by any chance? I've always had this problem with Chrome; Firefox does much better. Does anyone know how I can improve the font rastering on Chrome? (Windows 7) - http://i.imgur.com/hh3vqFk.jpg

Fair point. It's pretty easy to substitute another font of your choice. Raleway was just my personal preference.
