TYPE DESIGN, TYPOGRAPHY, TYPEFACES AND FONTS
These pages offer over 70,000 entries with information on type design, type designers, the history and choice of fonts and typefaces, the mathematics of type design, font software, and typographic matters in general. The subjects are cross-classified by country, language, tag, style, and category. Each item also has a dedicated subpage with additional images not shown on the main pages [click on pink dots like ⦿]. I started this work in 1993.
This section is devoted to a template bundle which I developed for the typesetting system LaTeX. The first version of the template was released in early 2006. From the feedback and postcards I received so far, it seems to be in heavy use all over the world!
Die App streicht die optischen Unterschiede zwischen Schriftschnitten heraus. Sie eignet sich bei der Entscheidungsfindung, wenn es zwei (oder mehr) Fonts in die engere Auswahl geschafft haben und nun anhand der Details geprüft werden soll, welche definitiv zum Einsatz kommt.

Typography is the visual component of the written word. And being a publisher of the written word necessarily means being a typographer. This book will make you a better typographer.
GFS was founded in 1992 by the late Michael S. Macrakis (1924-2001) as a Non-Profit Organization with the expressed aim of contributing to the research of Greek typography.
The quality of available free fonts has increased dramatically. To be frank, free fonts don’t have a good reputation, and often they are knock-offs of thoroughly crafted, already established typefaces. So is it time for professional designers to take a second look?
if you learn and follow these five typography rules, you will be a better typographer than 95% of professional writers and 70% of professional designers.
Fonts In Use is a public archive of typography indexed by typeface, format, and industry. We document and examine graphic design with the goal of improving typographic literacy and appreciation.
Typewolf is a curated design showcase that identifies the fonts used in the design. Our goal is to serve as a one-stop resource for designers seeking typographic inspiration for the modern web.
In this article we’ll go through the most commonly used font-families for websites and how we can do so they look as similar as possible on all machines out there.
Once Vista was available for beta, many web designers adopted it early to begin trying with varying levels of success to figure out if they can incorporate Vista fonts into their designs.
With every new version of Windows or Office, Microsoft Corporation seems to generally like to package a couple of small freebies that make it a sweeter deal,
Über Typografie wurde und wird immer noch viel gesagt. Fakt ist, dass man das Thema nicht in einem Buch erfassen kann. Wir stellen hier einige Schriften-Klassiker auf der einen Seite vor und auf der anderen einen guten Schwung Neuankömmlinge. Wir hoffen, dieses Buch macht Lust auf mehr und hilft, das Thema weiter zu erforschen. In Gruppenarbeit wurde der "Querschnitt x" in Lesetypo, Display- und Gebrochene Schriften unterteilt, wobei ich letzteres behandelt habe. Alle Schriften sind unterteilt in die folgenden drei Kapitel: 1. Schriften im Vergleich (grüner Teil: Gegenüberstellung), 2. Schriften vorgestellt (blauer Teil: neue Fonts) und 3. Klischees (rosafarbener Teil: Fraktur ist eine Nazi-Schrift und Kunst ist der Tod der Typografie).
