What the Font!
Both a tool and a shop for type. If you have a sample of type that you need to identify/match, upload an image into their tool and it will spit out possible matches. In their early days, it seemed to work better—more non-partisan. Now it will steer you to choices that are sold directly through their site.
Foundries
FontShop
One of the very best and one that every designer should know. Contains an enormous amount of history and significance. (plus they have free fonts to get you hooked…)
Hoefler & Co.
Also one that every designer should know of.
House Industries
I would say revival fonts, but also some of the very best cuts in the world. For those of you in Santa Fe, NM, you should know Girard, and therefore House Industries.
Lost Type
Good modern display fonts. (lots of freebies).
