Post goodies and resources, mainly.
Otherwise, just discuss and ask about shit, I guess.

i don't understand what is happening here at all.

Books:

Thinking With Type - Ellen Lupton
The New Typography - Jan Tschichold
Grid Systems - Josef Muller-Brockmann
The Elements Of Typographic Style - Robert Bringhurst
Getting It Right With Type - Victoria Squire

Ellen Lupton is a great author and she's written a TON of books. A lot of her stuff is pretty fundamental/rudimentary, but she has a great way of explaining more complex things in a way which is easy to understand and apply.

Im trying to get Rockwell Bold Condensed. It should come with Microsoft Office but I don't have that. Could someone upload it?

sometimes i feel typography to be akin to the paraphillic desires of those who fuck bikes.

Dafont is cool for novelty stuff.
I've been looking for more professional-looking stuff lately, though, so I haven't really bothered with it.
