My Favorite Typography Blogs

June 25th, 2007

It has been a (very long) while since I written about design at all on this blog. In order to ease myself back into the design subject, I thought I would post some of my favorite typography blogs that I have found.

There are best practices you can follow, such as using system fonts for large amounts of copy and not embedding characters that will not be used.
