Really nice collection for inspiring typography. I tend to believe type offers a huge opportunity to differentiate yourself as so many blogs / sites use the same. Adding a sense of style and polish through well-crafted typography aids credibility and trust (assuming you've got the content to back it up).

Thanks for sharing! A couple other resources I refer to are www.smashingmagazine.com and www.alistapart.com

I would add LetterHead Fonts and FontDiner to the list of font foundries. I have bought fonts from both of these places and they are superb. Also, for cartoonists Nate Pieko's Blambot.com is a great place to get cartooning fonts.
