An Encyclopedic Treatment of Type Design, Typefaces and Fonts

I remember this website from early '00. I'm really glad it is still online and flourishing! This is literally one of the best (if not the best) website with font resources on the web.

The author of this website (Luc Devroye) has been my professor at McGill, and he might be the most impressive professor I've ever met in my student life.

He only does classes at 8:30 and on blackboard, with a lot of humor and history of science stories in the middle. He was supposed to write an algorithm book at some point, if he ever finishs it, it's a must buy !

Fantastic wealth of information here. I'm really impressed. You can even upload images and the site will recognize the font for you.

There are several services like this if you are interested (or you try to find some very rare font), one that gives quite good results is whatthefont

Wow, the learning resources on that page are too good and I can't believe how much valuable info is efficiently organized into such a readable index!
