    Hey,

    I'm trying to find a font that looks similar to the header fonts on either http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog or the all capitals one on http://www.uncorneredmarket.com or really anything that's sort of thick without being super huge.

    Can anyone give me some tips on what font I can use and how I can apply CSS to get the effect I want?

    Thanks!

    On the first page, the font settings are:
    font-family: helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -1px; line-spacing: 26.4px
    Code (markup):
    For the second site, it's: 
    font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; font-varient: small-caps; line-spacing: 24px
    Code (markup):

    Thanks, I'll try those out. How did you find that out, just for future reference?

    Using Firefox, there is an Extension called CSS Viewer, which when activated, you can see in real-time the css of a page, and specifically, which elements you mouseover.
