I found three very interesting typography blogs that helped me get inspiration for my blog. These include: http://friendsoftype.com, https://www.typewolf.com, and https://fontsinuse.com. All of these blogs share photos and information about different typefaces. They are all very helpful for designers who are looking for inspiration on typography. I find all the blogs very engaging and useful.
Friends of Type is a blog where designers can share their typography designs and sketches. Each month a new designer is featured to help inspire other designers. It features mostly hand lettering which makes it very original and creative. The website itself has very bright colours and is very appealing to the eye. It also features a section where you can buy merchandise with other artist’s typography work on it. This way artists can support other artists.
Type Wolf features many fonts for designers to pick from for their projects. It shows the actual fonts as well as demonstrates them on websites to show how they will look while in use. It also shares background information on all of the fonts and recommends you fonts that are similar. If you are just getting into typography you can go on this blog and get resources on typography to learn more about fonts and how to pair them together.
Fonts In Use is a blog that shows fonts being used on actual things such as books and websites. It helps designers get a sense of what kind of mood the font gives off. Seeing the fonts in use helps give inspiration to other artists and give ideas on when to use what font. It also features many vintage fonts and gives a brief bit of history about them.
Conclusion
All of these blogs are very helpful for designers who need ideas on what fonts to use. They all have very creative typefaces and share plenty of information about typography. If someone is ever stuck on what font to use for a certain project they could easily just check out any of these blogs and find something to use. To make my blog as engaging as them I will be sure to use lots of visuals and provide interesting information that people will want to read. I want my blog to look visually appealing and include a lot of facts about typography.
