    I Love Typography

    Well, who doesn't?  ILT is also a website that type lovers should visit as often as possible. Created by one John D. Boardley and featuring additional contributors, I Love Typography is a testament to a simple idea done very well.   The contributors make it clear that there is a world of interesting typeface useage out there, whether hand lettered or computer generated. The examples they find and photograph are discussed intelligently and at some length. They also feature new typefaces and sometimes give away a sample weight or two.

    Other occasional features include interviews with type luminaries, in-depth discussions of a specific aspect of typography and a bit of type history. Even if you're not a font geek, the site is good for ideas and examples, links to other quality resources and a general sense of unrestrained enthusiasm.
