I stumbled upon the links page for this module and have been working my way through the various items. I heartedly agree with the suggestions for successful typography as too many different fonts just confuse the eye when reading text.
The other area which I haven't found any the links is how important colour is to the reader. I'ts always been emphasised to avoid colours like yellow, cyan and green as the eye finds it difficult to pick out the words on the page. Whilst it might be construed as boring, there's nothing wrong with black on white or blue on white to get the reader to stay with you.
Here's the link for OCA enrolled students to read the article 'I Love Typography' on the OCA website:
