Re: Typography Resources
This is definitely opinionated advice, but this page I'm providing a link for here shows typefaces you really should have in your collection if you're into the printed word and DTP, and it provides the creators.
And I agree with much of what is covered here!
A few good fonts
My take is that we originally went from digital type back in the later 1980s that was prohibitively expense and you were luck to own screen versions of the original 19 PostScript faces, to today, when you need to practice some good judgement and taste not to have 1,200 installed fonts!
My advice is to know the worth of any given typeface to you and your work, definitely check out the FontShop because they're associated with The Xara Group and every dollar helps, and to use your fonts appropriately. IOW, use goofy fonts for goofy messages and use Ariel in 3pts. for the label on an aspirin bottle.
My Best,
Gary
