Typography Resources

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Font Downloads: 40+ Excellent Free Fonts 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.
  3. 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
  4. Link Database: Web Developers Handbook
    A massive link database to a variety of subjects, including typography.
  5. Typography Resources: Typography Resources Every Designer Should know.
    Many more resources for typography. A very book markable link.

There are many other typographic resources out there. What are your favourites?

    I would also highly recommend “The Elements of Typographic Style (3.0+)” by Robert Bringhurst. This is my bible!

    In college the best typography book I read was Design with Type by Carl Dair. In fact it was seriously lauded by all the professors.
