20,444 PointsNice choice of Crimson as a font! I also like your simple layout. From what I can see, you've loaded Typekit's JS properly and the font is coming through okay. You may not have referenced it properly in your CSS, though.
From a quick look at it, it looks like your Bootstrap CSS is overriding the Crimson font because of the level of specificity you provide in your own stylesheet (Bootstrap styles the h1 through h6 tags with a certain font, you don't override this)
Add this line of code in your my-styles.css file to correct this:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family: "crimson"; }
Doing that seemed to correct the font in the browser.
