I am a big fan of simple themes, so i keep looking for simpler themes.
And i keep a copy of these at my local drive, what if the designer thinks of pulling the theme off the web, silly indeed;)
One of the recent themes i found is a custom theme designed by Noel Jackson of Automattic for his personal weblog at http://jcksn.com/
here is a screenshot of his about page:
Another of a post:
There are other themes too that i liked very much.
Those are Cleanr by Chandra Maharzan, Thematic by Ian Stewart and Hybrid by Justin Tadlock
Cleanr is a fine theme with medium size fonts, it is a sensible design. The theme is a two column one with everything so clear and clean it is a great design. Cleanr is available for download at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cleanr.

Thematic has been designed by Ian Stewart of http://themeshaper.com/, It’s description at wordpress.org goes as follows:
