If only we could express in words how long and hard the struggle was to learn how to do good typography. We really could have used this wonderful new reference just released by Massimo Vignelli when we were first trying to figure this stuff out.
We may have to change the name of this site to the Neu Green because when we were in school less than a decade ago, you had to buy these kind books (and they were not cheap) assuming you could even find them. You kids these days get everything off the internet for free, like this book, which is beyond awesome.

To get it straight from the horses mouth you can check out Orange 22’s site.
