Typography is probably the most important aspect of any design work. More often then not, those Photoshop pre-sets won’t do the job when choosing the right font and creating your own font takes a bit of skill and dedication of its own to accurately create a typeface you want. The only other place you can find excellent typefaces is online, but where does one start.
