Typography and Font Resource

The other day my friend Gabe Van Wyhe and I were having a conversation about fonts and their personalities. Laughing about how I would describe Optima as a person, or Verdana, etc. He asked how I knew I was right, I told him: “because I’m always right, as a matter of fact, I’ve never been wrong, only mistaken.” (Ha, Just kidding.) No, the real answer is = RESEARCH. I spend a lot of time reading because there are people out there who have done the research and summarized it for me, I just have to find them. Along comes fonts.com with their typography 101 and resource section. Developing a love for fonts is a long road, this resource will help get you started on the right foot: http://www.fonts.com/AboutFonts/Type101/
