All of the examples below are taken from paper magazine publications, there use of type and layout are phenomenal and there style could be easily adapted into any web page.
They make you wonder if web design is influencing paper publications or is it the other way round. Either way these amazingly creative designers are setting modern web trends.

   These are really great examples of how type can be a design element. I love that the type is just as illustrative if not more illustrative than the photos in the same layouts.

   I like a strong table of contents. The best of every one of these is that the type is readable and immediately clear

   Wow, these are really powerful examples of how a well-designed layout should look like. I wish you had put up some flyers as examples though! There are tons of flyers that make use of excellent typography, such as those on my blog, Flyer Design Goodness [www.flyergoodness.blogspot.com]
