Great Typography is not just about choosing your typeface, setting it’s properties and forgetting about it. Typography can add life, character and interest into a design.
As a designer who has worked in the Newspaper and Print Industry i know how much of an impact typography can make.
With a never ending need to learn more about the theory of Typography and how to apply it in a multitude of contexts, i was extremely pleased to see Typography voted as this week’s Theme Thursday.

@Deffault, @Joel, @Tom, @FreelanceCrowd and @9swords My pleasure, thanks for visiting and bookmarking it
@Jay Thanks Jay, I will probably be doing the same thing!
@Hernan Hi Hernan, thanks for digging it.
@Sarah Yep there is quite a few articles i hadn’t come across before, theme thursday always seems to throw up resources which i would have missed otherwise.
@Brandon I’m still going through the links myself so will be brewing some more coffee myself!
@Jacob Hi Jacob, thanks for visiting. Awesome suggestion, not sure why i didn’t think of doing that before as i categorised my wireframing post because of the large number of links. Separating the links into categories will definitely make it more readable and give the links more context, thanks again for the suggestion.
Dug!
Wow, what a list. UBER list even
A bunch of stuff I’ve never seen before on here, thanks!
You’re certainly not helping my font addiction – gonna be up all night now, need caffeine!

Great List. Love the selection you have to browse. Another very worthwhile resource for designers is the underground typography scene of http://www.pilo.me – It is a members only site for type lovers/graphic designers. From my experience it is low profile and by owner approval owner, but I know there are a lot of valuable and exquisite fonts to be reviewed and seen here. Thanks again for the great read.
