How about http://ministryoftype.co.uk/ ?
Hanne Brøter says:
Great! Thank You!
Rich Roat says:
Excellent type links! Thank you for researching these and posting them.
Another fantastic site / forum that you have to include to this list to get new fonts is http://www.pilo.me
It is the best typography forum for graphic designers / typographers on the internet. I believe it is an invite only site, similar to ffffound and behance, but a little more homegrown and small townish, but the content they have available is amazing. It is genuinely a tree typography forum. With discussion on ascenders, the dna of the letter and other type focused discussions, pilo is top notch and the most credible of type sites I have been to.
Thank you again!
