Time well spent.

Hello, it's Robert

Since I am home sick today and kind of frustrated about it, I've decided that I am going to post some great Type and Design websites that have caught my attention as of late. Hopefully you will find them as enjoyable as I have.

Fontroduction is a small website with some very useful introductory type info.

This is Peter Saville's official website. He is one of my heros, and is the brilliant mind behind many of Factory Records' album covers and posters from the 1970's to the early 1990's. He has been in the process of building a new site for quite a while, but this one is still
very fun to explore.

Here are some of the typefaces he has designed over the years.

Sorry about this, but for some reason I can't add hyperlinks or do anything to the html.
You will have to copy and paste the links to your address bar instead of just clicking on them.
