I don't no. There seems to be a boost lately.


Is Typophile the new Identifont?


I don't know about Facebook, but Twitter is :)
At least for me… it is now my primary source of type design discussion, and it is usually the first place that I hear any new information or gossip.

But I still love Typophile, and my time here on the site hasn't let up despite my Twitter upkick.


I use Facebook for short questions that don’t really justify a Typophile thread. For long conversations Typophile still wins.


yeah i think it's a mix... for me twitter/FB are great for news and quick stuff, or sharing links etc, but typophile still wins for proper discussion.
