Interesting, the article on Gill Sans, I have always hated that font, save for the light faces. It’s just not proportionate for my tastes. I always thought I was just being a snob, but that article brings to light (though promoting another font) the parts of the font i find particularly horrible.

Great collection, David. iA and A List Apart are sites I’ve recently begun subscribing to and have found them to be great design resources in general.

I haven’t ever really looked too far into typography beyond my own intuition, but have come across these resources/articles recently:

80 Beutiful Typefaces For Professional Design
Great Fonts for Web 2.0

You’re very welcome, John.

Asgeir,

Thanks very much for linking to Life Clever. I’ll check it out.

Wallace,

There’s quite a lot that Smashing Magazine haven’t talked about, but I appreciate your comment.

Chase,

I’ve tried emailing you about the custom design you kindly offered, but your email address gives an auto-repsond permanent error.

Thanks for sharing these links. I will visit them immediately coz I do like fancy fonts or fonts that look good.

Smashing Magazine haven’t talked about that before.

Ed, Jermayn, Jamie,

Glad to offer something of interest.

Mig,

I love Stumble Upon, although haven’t been using it too much these days.

I’m not sure how long it’d take to create an encyclopaedia, but I reckon there’d be a few gray hairs by then! No doubt it’d be very useful. I don’t want to think about the amount of time I spend looking at useless websites.
