I assume you are talking about the type in the logo and on the front page - 
otherwise it is just plain Arial (right?) (Worrying that something went 
amok in the formatting.)

I think I visualize it - you mean the navigation buttons?  Or the actual 
image title?  I almost dropped the image titles altogether since they are 
duplicated in the frame around the image, but then there would nothing for

Well, in the title those are the glyphs for the four alchemical elements - 
air, water, fire, earth - and the light / time / vision are roughly
