Wondering what your guys' favorite resources (websites, books, projects, etc) are for typography inspiration? It's really an area I need to work on.
Would appreciate any input!
Thanks!

I love this book, and really anything by this lady.

It's somewhat basic, but it's got some good examples and is just so pretty.
Bladez and I had the pleasure of meeting Ina Saltz a couple years ago at a conference and hearing her speak. I gotta tell you this lady knows her stuff and she's super nice plus has a sense of humor (essential when talking about design rules for 2 hours, lol). -

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?" – Winnie the PoohComment

When you say typography, are you looking more for hand lettered type stuff, layouts using computer fonts, or both?Comment
