Nothing gets me quite as excited as when I come across a type related link in Twitter or a published article in my RSS reader from a type focused site. I like to read about typography, see how others are mixing typeface, and learn about how to use the newer techniques that are making typography on the web better.
Over the years, I've saved bookmarks to various resources and tutorials. And below is the best of the best, resources I find myself using often. Peruse at your leisure! This list will also live on and be updated here.
