The Font Bureau, Inc.

So while I was wasting time on the Internet, not working on Type homework like I was supposed to, I stumbled across the website The Font Bureau, Inc. You can choose a font from their drop down menu on the left side and and it will show you a brief history of the font, what type of media they recommend using that font for (magazine, etc.), the different styles, the characters, and a few real-life examples of how the font has been used. Some of the examples are rather horrendous... They focus mainly on fonts that are popular for magazines and newspapers. They also have a decent blog.




Why, AARP, why? Your type looks so... uncomfortable... especially the L's on "Belly Bulge." Hurk.
