I'm looking for cool sites about typography. Not font download
sites, more like sites about new ways of using fonts, which fonts are hot right now etc.
Perhaps you could direct me to some sweet magazines about the same subject. I was told "Baseline Magazine" is really cool.Thanks.

http://www.typographi.ca/ and
http://www.typophile.com/ are two good places to start ...

I'd avoid Baseline, it's an overpriced rag full of articles about pre war Polish propaganda poster typography. Well, stuff like that anyway.

He he he... it's funny cos it's trueKroll:
Try the ISTD journal of the Society of the Type Designers slightly less overpriced, but sometimes it can be a useful mag. DOT DOT DOT is good too, or Emigre, get your ass to magma...

Yeah TypoGraphic can be good, as a member you get the mag free. Last issue was pretty cool.

Yeah I liked the hands on approach to it, I like the way they source out each issue, although tDR issue I couldn't be bothered reading it, too much effort, folded A1 poster hmmm.!
