This week we studied chapter 4 in The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, which dealt with typography.  The chapter contained a warning towards the beginning that the study of typography could get addictive, and with good reason.  The terms that define the “anatomy of letterform” were particularly interesting.  It reminded me a lot of a grammar theory class I took as an undergrad where we broke down the individual components of words.  I have not yet decided if I’m going to go with one of the web safe fonts ar go another route, but I have always been a fan of Comic Sans MS.  It has always struck me as being “happy”.  I also looked at some of the web sites suggested in the chapter in the “finding fonts” section.  Misprintedtype.com, which displays the art of Eduardo Recife, has an absolutely GORGEOUS font called “Nars.”  It is unfortunately not the look I need for my web site, but it almost makes me want to reconsider my whole idea!
