It must be a lost art, but I want to know the history of topography and advancements of techniques. Any resource, community or starting point would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if it's still the case but The Elements of Typopgrahic Style by Robert Bringhurst was my bible for picking up the nitty-gritty on typography: https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Typographic-Style-Robert-Bri...

Thanks, but I am looking for a book on topography (maps).

Thank you for the recommendation though!

I actually also misread and wanted a book on typography so thanks.
