The content and typography on A List Apart feel like a lovely scholarly journal. It’s “for people who make websites”, ranging “from pixels to prose, coding to content,” plus the culture and design of websites.
Sit down and enjoy with a cup of tea.

I love typography – do you? From “Who Shot the Serif” to the factoid that 90% of monkeys can identity Helvetica (vs Arial or vs Times, we wonder), we’re hooked! Ooo – and a font game for the iPhone.

We aren’t cursing for April Fool’s Day: it’s actually What the Font, a designer’s best friend. Upload an image of a word set in a font you would like to find and What the Font will do its best to figure it out for you. Magic. (Beware: this will not instantly make you into a designer!)

We love Ace Jet 170. As the strapline says, it’s a blog dedicated to ‘Found type, print and stuff’ – books, photos and eye-catching objects found anywhere from junk shops to littering the pavement. If you like interesting stuff – and we all do at heart – then here’s a great place to while away a happy few minutes.
