Description
I thought I'd create a tutorial on typograhy since I've done so much of it recently.Here are some useful links:
Thinking with Type, a more in depth study of type: [link]
History of type youtube video: [link]
Helvetica(the documentary): [link]
Oh and so everyone knows: you can post this wherever you want, just link back to this page/my main page at some point.

Can't say I've ever listened to the guy. Why do you ask?

When you talked about tips and tricks you showed an example of narrow space with the font arial black, this happens to be the same way deadmau5 has his logo. [link]
You also did it again when showing examples of how different typography fits different pictures so i assumed that you knew of him. hahaha oh well.

Sorry, what's the difference between kerning and tracking?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah sorry, I was pretty sure that I was being unclear while I was writing it. Kerning is individual spacing between two letters and tracking is the same but with more characters.

Real nice. I took three semesters of typography at school, but this was still a nice refresher crash-course for me.
Plus it summarizes all the things I keep trying to teach my friends about type, too. It's such a hard thing to explain!

your comment on comic sans and papyrus made my day a little bit. Join me in my quest of ridding the world of these terrible fonts!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, damn straight. It's the downside of anyone and everyone being able to create what they want(of course, there's more upsides than downsides though).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
indeed. Sometimes when people ask me to fix their computer, I take it upon myself to replace comic sans with something more palletable.

awesome! Thank you for taking the time to make and share this!

simply smitten.

This is extremely helpful, typography has always been my weak spot. I'll definitely be referring back to this.
Just one tiny nitpick: the font family is "georgia", not "geogia", right? Or have I been calling it the wrong thing all this time?
