form, function AND frill



Hoefler & Frere-Jones
, the creators of Mercury, Hoefler Text and Gotham typefaces (among many others), have a beautiful website. They present their elegant fonts - many designed for famous print publications - in a clutter-free atmosphere allowing the fonts to speak for themselves. I love how each font has its own 'profile' including a place where you can try out their fonts with your own copy. The above G is in Gotham, found in Mexico. Check out their website at www.typography.com.

These two other sites also feature fonts in clever ways and offer unique functionality for those looking for THE right typeface or inspiration.

typographica.org - type reviews
www.welovetypography.com - fun type bookmarking site, you can sort by typeface or even color
