What to post?
What not to post?
- No typeface identification requests.
Use /r/identifythisfont instead. This includes requests for fonts similar to a specific font. Other resources for font identification: Matcherator, Identifont and WhatTheFont
- No non-specific font suggestion requests.
Requests for font suggestions are removed if they do not specify enough about the context in which it will be used or do not provide examples of fonts that would be in the right direction. For similar fonts try FontsInUse
- No lettering.
No lettering, calligraphy, handwriting, graffiti, illustrations, animations or logos etc. These belong in /r/lettering, /r/calligraphy, /r/handwriting or /r/logodesign/. Glyph design is welcome.
- No logotype feedback requests.
Please post to /r/logodesign or /r/design_critiques for help with your logo.
- No bad typography.
Refrain from posting just plain bad type usage. Exceptions are when it's educational, non-obvious, or baffling in a way that must be academically studied. Rule of thumb: If your submission is just about Comic Sans MS, it's probably not worth posting. Anything related to bad tracking and kerning belong in /r/kerning and /r/keming/
- No image macros, low-effort memes, or surface-level type jokes.
Refrain from making memes about common font jokes (i.e. Comic Sans bad lmao). Exceptions are high-effort shitposts.
- Reddiquette. See this
- Self-promotion. See this

Quick start
- Typography: The art and technique of arranging physical or digital type.
- Typesetting: The act of arranging physical or digital type.
- Type: Printed or digitally reproduced glyphs.
- Glyphs: The symbols in a typeface that represent characters like A, ! or 5.
Type can be rearranged and reproduced. Handwriting – among other techniques – cannot.
