Cool New Artist: Daren Newman
I like this poster by Daren Newman. (Some of his other stuff is sort of weird to me.. reminds me too much of anime or something.)

fraktur mon amour
blackletter is back...this book, by Judith Schalansky, was recently released from a german publisher...it documents hundreds of blackletter fonts and also come with a cd of 130 free fonts
you can purchase at john neal book sellers along with other books on typography and calligraphy and book making supplies
betsy dunlap calligraphy and handlettering
I love calligraphy, it is very interesting to study the relationships between calligarphy and typography, very closely related. Betsy Dunlap has some beautiful and unique calligraphy
the ampersand
This is a blog completely on ampersands. I have to credit, leeanne found this first, but i though it belonged on the type blog
from leeanne "i guess there's a blog out there for everyone... this one is solely about ampersands! but i agree, the ampersand is definitely one of the nicest symbols in typography."
... and here's a little fun fact - the shape of the ampersand was derived from the latin word "et"... who knew?

Typophile, etc
I found a cool site I'd never seen before: typophile.com
Came across a thread about slab serifs, and one of the people who was part of the discussion is Nick Shinn, founder of Shinn Type (Shinntype.com). he designed Bodoni Egyptian, an elegant slab serif that reminds me of Archer in its delicacy. To view the PDF, go here: http://shinntype.com/Bodoni_Egyptian.pdf
Also love this t shirt that represents stroke weights...light, regular, bold, bold italic.
