Are your struggling with your typography? Don’t know your serifs from your san-serifs? Do you know the history of typography?
After many hours trailing the web and reading many books I have compiled the best and most valuable typography resources and tips that you need to know to improve your typographic skills.
- Book: Non Designers Type Book by Robin Williams
This book is full of the bare essentials of typography. It is VERY easy to read and a MUST HAVE for anyone starting out in typography. - Font Downloads: 40+ Excellent Freefonts For Professional Design
A tip that is very often not told, there are free quality fonts out there. If you are a student graphic designer, you may not want to buy fonts just yet and this is why this site is your new best friend. - Font Identification: Identifont or What The Font.
Want to know the font that is used on your milk carton or on a particular website? These two great websites can tell you exactly what font is used - Link Database: Web Developers Handbook
A massive link database to a variety of subjects, including typography. - Typography Resources: Typography Resources Every Designer Should know.
Many more resources for typography. A very book markable link.
