Attractive styleguide for a personal site. Might resort to these one day soon.

List of all 58 fonts now in iOS, mainly for reference. (Although, eesh, Zapfino AND Papyrus? Really?)

"One of the three typographic styles that is used in Japan is essentially phonetic, and is called Katakana. We’ve been attempting to find ways to incorporate phonetic sounds with the Katakana letterforms." Brilliant.

"I'm excited about digital books for a number of reasons. Their proclivity towards multimedia is not one of them. I’m excited about digital books for their meta potential. The illumination of, in the words of Richard Nash, that commonality between two people who have read the same book." Craig Mod, excellent as ever, on e-books. Whilst he mainly talks about type, his point runs far deeper.

"I had been studying this style of letters on similar buildings in Washington, D.C., and something about them always felt a little dull. But in the Claremount letters I found life in the charming way the awkward proportions and loose spacing came together. So I set about designing a Claremount typeface." Nice article on designing a typeface, and, I must admit, it's rather good-looking (especially for something named after me).

"Fortunately, modern displays can display characters that look exactly like this without special circuitry used in the original DEC terminals and there is free software that can be used to create a usable outline font out of a PNG image." Recreating VT220 terminal fonts in software, and from thence into Truetype.

"It all boils down to a Ruby script that runs on OS X only and uses OS X’s really awesome typography and subpixel antialiased font rendering. Why not tap into this to make those headline graphics? With Rubycocoa you can easily whip up a small app that draws some text, and save it into a PNG file." Um, blimey.

I am not an expert in these matters, but that is rather lovely.

"MISO by Mårten Nettelbladt is a heavy duty typeface for the construction industry." Ooh, that's quite nice.

Type design from videogames. Add to subscriptions.

"Here’s a round-up of the top 10 readily-available monospace fonts for your coding enjoyment, with descriptions, visual examples and samples, and download links for each." I think I roughly agree with Dan on these.

"The game's hook is quite simple: upper-case Helvetica words fall slowly from the top of the screen, and you drag a missing letter from each to its properly kerned spot. The closer you are and the faster you manually drop the word, the better you do. Miss your goal by an inch and you lose a life... errr, ligature, which you can gain back by being right on the spot." Hah! Must try that.

"...using these guidelines, and building on the experience of much more knowledgeable type gurus, I have compiled a list of font stacks that will both open up more font possibilities for web designers, and hopefully offer more appropriate substitutes:" That's interesting; not sure how appropriate it is, but they're good uses of the cascade, by and large.

"Semi-jestfully I would talk with my friends about how stupid it would be to get an I <3 Helvetica tattoo... an even stupider idea would be to get it as a tramp stamp. Well, I got good reviews from my posse and impulsively I got it last night..." Oh boy.

"A modern tale about caring, mending and letting-go, drawn with letters and punctuation marks." Oh! This is just beautiful - a short story about a girl, and a snail, composed entirely out of type.

"Renaissance ‘lace books’ have much to offer the modern digital designer, who also faces the challenge of portraying clear and replicable images in a constrained environment." A brief history of pixelfonts.

"Alternate movie posters about film brand integration." Beautiful, typographically speaking, and definitely honest.

"On April 1, 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a seven-page “special report” about San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean consisting of several semi-colon-shaped islands. A series of articles described the geography and culture of this obscure nation." Wonderful

That they are. Got to love the type on these.

Yes.

Jos Buivenga's font foundry, with many free faces (usually in a few weights - other weights are paid-for). Some beautiful stuff in here.

Beautiful, free, sans-serif font. Gorgeous - especially at 900-weight.

"The result of the workshop is Dear Lulu, a fantastic and imaginative resource that puts digital printing to the test through a Do-It-Yourself presentation." Testing digital printing by creating a book that's full of metrics and challenges.

"In Melbourne I developed a way-finding-system for the Eureka Tower Carpark. The distored letters on the wall can be read perfectly when standing at the right position." Uncanny, but beautiful.

"You're insane! No-one uses Microsoft Works any more!" Jolly good. Better than good, in fact: mailbox. Open mailbox.

"Word Clock is a typographic screensaver for Mac OS X. It displays a fixed list of all numbers and words sufficient to express any possible date and time as a sentence." Gorgeous.

Robots made out of sans-serif fonts. Squee!

Mmmn. Yum.

"...our designer Sara Soskolne discovered this marvelous set of Movable Type in Chocolate, created by Sandra Kübler and Christine Voshage." Oh my. That's beautiful.

Yet another monospace font - this time an opensource one from the Android project. Rather like this.

"In a nutshell, this JavaScript adjusts the line-height of a container (such as a div) in proportion to it’s width, relative to the font size." Nicely implemented typographic jQuery plugin

Inconsolata "...is a monospace font, designed for code listings and the like, in print". It's also rather attractive on the screen, and might be the first monospace with rounded characters I actually like.

List of corporations, and their "official" typeface (usually for their logotype, but also for other things).

"I hope Helvetica is a smash. It deserves to be. But part of me still misses the days when it was just our little secret." - Michael Bierut on the magic that was typesetting.

A wonderful, deep, involved discussion of the complexity of typesetting music.

Mark Boulton and Richard Rutter knock one out of the park with their SxSW presentation. Awesome.

Wordpress.com add support for LaTeX into their posts - translates code into inline images with appropriate alt text. Impressive, for the mathematically/scientifically minded at least.

FELTRON SEVEN: Mark Feltron's Annual Report, a beautiful (and entertaining) piece of information design, in which Felton summarises his past year as a corporate-style annual report.

"Sure you can still make out the words, but you’ve eliminated all the subtleties of hundreds of years of typographic design elements that were put there to make things easier to read." Lots of good articles about web typography right now.

Very true. This, and a beautiful piece of print design I saw this weekend, are giving me _all_ sorts of ideas...

Delicious is a beautiful, free sans-serif. The Italic is especially gorgeous.

Wonderful series of photographs and anootations on the typesetting process before computers. Mindboggling at times.

I know everyone's bookmarking it, but these Penguin covers are really great, really inspiring; some seminal jacket design for many, many years. And, because they're iconic, they degrade, wear, and age wonderfully.

(They're typefaces). Some useful clarification from AIGA on the matter

Lovely, lovely Steffmann fonts - and lots of them.

Useful. Very, very useful. Converts to/from Unicode, UTF8, Shift-JIS and English/Japanese defintions. Lifesaver.

20 book-weight faces; a useful reference

Not only tasteful, but also (by and large) in a selection of different weights.

Lovely web design resource; clear, clean, and some good ideas.

Kontrapunkt is also free to download, and very beautiful. I'm there.

Handy - and much-recommended - widget for previewing fonts

Funky, free, must look into sometime.

Always a headache - useful reference for sizing methods in css

Some nice free fonts, mostly hand-drawn, very Pablo Ferro at points.

Must listenagain to this: Radio 4 program on fonts.
