With the ever growing popularity of Twitter it’s no surprise to see that a lot of designers and developers have adopted Twitter and use it to connect with other designers and share links, quotes, ideas, etc…
So, since I’m addicted to typography, I thought I’d share my list of people I follow. This list contains only typography related Twitter users. Some are typeface designers, others represent type foundries and some exist to share news about typography and other related topics.
You can also find the list I created on Twitter here.
