yeah, i'm aware of that...
was looking for some discussions, artciles (books even) on the topic... like basic guidelines for working with type.

Some of that here:
http://www.designwritingresearch…and lots of it discussed at Typophile:

At the risk of repeating something that's been said before, Robert Bringhurst's Elemenets of Typographic Style has some excellent stuff to say on combining type.
