National Park Service
The federal website that half a billion visits depend on, opening with a scrapbook collage and settling into ranger-hat-steady utility. Find a park by state, learn the history, download the app — no drama, no dead ends.

Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney's site runs a museum the way a great front page runs a newsroom: exhibitions lead, the grid holds, and the institution's W folds right into the masthead. American art, presented with total confidence in black and white.
Fonts In Use
An independent archive of typography in the wild — 34,000 samples and counting, every one identified, credited and filed. The reference desk for anyone who has ever asked "what typeface is that?"
Craig Mod
A walker-writer's home on the web, built like a well-sewn book: laurel-crowned memoir up top, essays and newsletters below, everything set in patient serif type. Proof that a personal site can out-craft entire publishing houses.
