Hello everyone, I�m a student designing a collectable publication about light-weight typefaces, and I�m looking for content to populate it. I�d like to find general information to do with recent releases, popular faces, compatibility, general usage, a bit of history, theory is fine.. basically anything written about light-weight type. I�ve scanned a few design books, but found very little... Can anyone suggest where I can find writing about light-weight type? Thanks in advance...

Thanks Stephan, yeah I saw that thread earlier this week, its a place for me to start.. I was really hoping to source the text, can you think of any books or other web sites that might have more information about this topic. I looked through books by Bringhurst, Spiekermann, Ruder, Carson, Meggs, .. couldnt find anything. Am I looking for something that doesnt exist..
