Great free Type tips and experiences by Fontshop
Posted by Marco on Jul 7, 2010 in OTF
The Belgian company known as Fontshop has been kind enough to put in writing exactly what every designer needs to know about fonts: Erik Spiekermann’s Type Tips,
Seven Rules for Better Typography,
Type Anatomy,
A Primer of Typographic Terms
and The Right Font for the Job,
Type Selection: Beyond the Look of the Letter. This is great stuff you really need to know. Check out the PDF-files right here. And, as if that wasn’t enough, check out the 52 page PDF-book called Meet your Type. Pure gold. (Via Rufus). Dutch designers, please forgive him for being a supporter for the German soccer team. No one’s perfect…
