Typography; something that, in all honesty, I currently know very little about! Letters, words, and fonts are probably a few of the first, obvious words that spring to mind - but as a 'budding' graphic designer, I'm more interested in the underlying functions of typography within design.
As a starting point for my initial research into the typographic world, I decided to approach the all-knowing Google to see what it came up with. I found a lot more than I expected (considering that it's not a particularly widely-known discipline outside the field of design); ranging from the history of type, the creations of thousands of typefaces, uses of typography....and the list goes on!
http://ilovetypography.com/ is one of the first pages that Google produces on entering the search term "typography". This is a blog covering - what appears to be - ALL aspects of typography; and it combines both objective information about certain aspects, as well as a subjective viewpoint too. At this point in time, I am unsure as to which elements of typography capture my interest the most, and so I will continue my research on a wider-scale for the time being....
