There are plenty of resources on the basics of type design online. One I just found is particularly charming in its use of hand-drawn diagrams (after all, shouldn’t all type design start with a pencil?) Check out typeworkshop.com for their Type Basics.
The site seems to be brought to us by the folks at UnderWare, who give workshops on type design. I’ve always loved that they share their rough designs and makings of for their typefaces.
