Typedia – Shared Encyclopedia of Typefaces
I stumbled upon the Typedia website through w3avenue.com. I cannot express how happy I was when I was going through the website. I am not much of a bookworm but I only read things that interest me and this one is it. I love typography and how I am sometimes frustrated by it. With this website, I feel like I learn more about typography and its history.
I quoted what the Typedia website is all bout:
In a nutshell, Typedia is a community website to classify typefaces and educate people about them. Think of it like a mix between IMDb and Wikipedia, but just for type. Anyone can join, add, and edit pages for typefaces or for the people behind the type.
We love type, and we have a burning desire to learn as much as possible about typefaces: where they come from, who made them, and why they look the way they do. We want everyone to be able to share in that rich knowledge and enjoy the art and artists of type design. Over time, we think Typedia could grow into a great educational resource for people to learn about their favorite typefaces and discover new ones
