Can I admit something really embarrassing?
I'm a closet type nerd.
I don't wear "I Heart Helvetica" t-shirts or go to TypeCon or anything that extreme. Though I kinda wish I did.
I'm a type nerd because I can't stop paying attention to fonts. My husband makes fun of me by saying, "Hey look at the graphics!" every time we see some sweet type.
What can I say? Good typography makes me happy. Bad typography makes me sad. So yes, I definitely fit into the nerd category!
But I thought I'd get it out there so that I can share a useful part of my obsession...Here's 9 modern trends in type and some resources to get each look for free!
