8,555 PointsCourse Request - Web Typography
Hey Treehousers!
I love all of the extensive design and development courses available on this platform. I seriously wouldn't be where I am today without this resource.
I'd love to put my two cents into the pot for a typography course! I know it's touched on in two places, but I would love to see a full-blown course on the proper use of web typography, and in design.
I've learned a lot from resources such as Jessica Hirsch's Quotes and Accents, Mark Boulton's Simple Steps to Better Typography, and the Type Director's Club, and would love to continue my type-nerd training here.
Just a thought!

39,199 PointsIn the meantime if you are looking for a Web Typography course now, there's Typography for Web Designers over on Lynda.com
If you aren't ready to commit to a whole course I highly recommend the A-Z of Web Typography blog series over on tutsplus.
