I agree with Herb on this... Unfortunately, Gill Sans does not have a top serif on the figure 1, so the gap is exacerbated. Maybe another font should be considered... If you want to get fussier, the parentheses appear to be drooping along side the lining figures. I'd be tempted to shorten them to align optically with the baseline, or use another device, such as a hyphen or space. In additon, the @ appears oversize. Again, when you're doing projects like this where there is little copy, and the copy counts a lot towards the overall look and feel, EVERYthing just stands out. Neil
