Typography
I ran into a great post this morning regarding typography and thought that this would be a great subject to share with my digital scrapbooking readers.
Of course, I will share with you my links page first, where you can find links to download free fonts.
Typies appears to be a new blog with interesting articles about typeography. This post has 15 tips.
Typetester.com allows you to test a font (size, etc.) to see how it looks on the screen.
DaFont.com is my favorite place to download free fonts for digiscrapping.
Identifont is a fun site to cruise. I can see this site being useful if you see a font you like in a layout in a gallery and credit is given to a font, but you do not know where to obtain the font. On this site, search by font name to find information on copyright and where to obtain a font. Search by font name to find similar fonts. There is also a page for downloads of free fonts. Put in a subject for a picture font to find one that meets your needs. Search by designer name or try clicking on the publisher link.
Thinking with Type is a fabulous site to better understand typography with its fab samples. It is a virtual textbook learning place.
If you design your blog or a website, I found this toolbox website interesting.
