GwynethJones's insight:
Typography is the foundation of design on the web. Back in 2006, designer and founder of iA Oliver Reichenstein even went so far as to proclaim "web design is 95% typography." -- Well, I dunno about that but I do know I judge a page by it's type!

"This font represents the unparalleled strength of one man who saved an entire world from the crushing yoke of tyranny. This man was an outstanding captain of men, an American patriot of unquestionable calibre. And within this font is captured his fighting spirit, his unyielding determination. This face is dedicated to him, the captain America knows and respects, the captain America font designers like myself strive to symbolize in their work. So enjoy the power that is the font I call, American Captain. " @the_fontry

My Comment on her blog:
By the Power of Greyskull, these are just BRILLIANT!
Are they on Flickr Creative Commons? I'd love to show them to my kiddos & maybe do a set as a challenge!
But as for the special Photoshop effects - umm they are NOT “cool” or “good;” I'm sorry........ they are FLIPPING AWESOME! OK...they ARE super cool, too! Thank you for sharing these!
You had me at cosplay, then kept me with Photoshop! Did you know that PicMonkey also has amazing special effects?
Anyway, Cheers for the share! I'm a new fan!
