What are some resources you use for typography research and inspiration in your projects?
In the past I've enjoyed using https://fontsinuse.com, for finding real-world references, and https://www.fontpair.co for finding fonts that are also free through Google Fonts.

@Jason Obeid I also love using Fonts in Use, it’s such a great resource! But my absolute favorite has to be Typewolf. It’s so helpful for finding unique type combinations and seeing how different fonts work in real-world applications.
