Practical Typography — the free web book that fixed my documents

https://practicaltypography.com

Butterick's rules are blunt and immediately usable: one space after periods, real quotation marks, line length 45–90 characters, stop using Arial. You can read the summary in ten minutes and your documents are better forever.

I collect fonts and ship nothing, but at least what I don't ship is well-set.
