I found this very interesting article giving examples of good/interesting use of typography in web design.

It has given me great ideas about trying to stand out using type. Whether that be in the logo or use of typefaces to distinguish different elements. The article gives a pretty spot on and interesting analysis of what makes these pages good based on their typographical choices.
Some of my favourites:

The use of typography and illustration really make this stand out as a unique page and immediately hold my interest. There is clearly nothing else like it.

The simplicity of the design here relies on the very ornamental and old fashioned typeface. It isn't too obtrusive though (although rather large) but distinguishes it from modern, more sleek typefaces used on the web.

The typography is very bold, and very high contrast. There is nothing especially fancy going on, it is just simple and bold grabbing your attention without anything visually complex.

The use of different typefaces here and especially different sizes helps break this very dense page down in to distinct and manageable sections. Each typeface serves a purpose and looks good individually, but also act as defining it's own section.
Combining Typefaces
Smashing Magazine wrote an excellent article on how best to combine 2 or more typefaces, and giving advice about how best to judge what works well together. I like the concept of juxtaposition, using a serif typeface with a sans serif typeface, and using different weights.
