Best Practices of Combining Typefaces
Creating great typeface combinations is an art, not a science. Indeed, the beauty of typography has no borders. While there are no absolute rules to follow, it is crucial that you understand and apply some best practices when combining fonts in a design.
INSPIRE CONF is a brand new conference about DESIGN, TYPE & CODE and has only one goal: GET INSPIRED. Carefully curated, we would like to inspire people with engaging concepts, fresh insights and boundary breaking examples on Design, Type and Code.
On Wednesday 30 November and Thursday 1st December 2011 in stunning Leiden, the Netherlands.
Follow @inspireconf for up-to-date information.

Flow will change the way you work
Coming soon from the fine folks at MetaLab.
Use multiple text-shadows to create 3D text on any HTML element. No extra HTML, no extra headaches, just awesomesauce.
So I threw this together: 3D text using nothing but CSS. No extra markup, no :before or :after mess, and no images. Just progressively enhancing CSS to add some flair to your work. —Mark Dotto
*** UPDATE ***
Alan added Awesomesauce to his homepage. Touch the type.
Wordmark.it detects fonts installed on your system with a small Flash script written by Marko Dugonjić of Type Tester. It also uses Remy Sharp’s font detection script. /via @jasonsantamaria
