Oldie but a very good reference. Robert Bringhurst’s book (The Elements of Typographic Style) has been part of my library for a long time.

Hmmm… Could you recommend a newer one?

There is nothing wrong with that site. Why do you think that, because it is old, it is outdated? Pats Practical Typography link is good too.

I by no means think that it is outdated, I am just trying to see if there are any newer trends.

Re: web typography
This can be useful: Typekit reference guide. This, although quite outdated, is not bad as a reference to typographic control: The State of web type, but the test cases seem to have disappeared and it lacks links to the relevant spec (it is mostly in CSS Fonts level 3).
Edit : darn auto-correct.

Re: web typography
Nice tips Philippe. Hadn’t seen those. I agree with you: Brinkhurst has long been a classic, especially for long-form text for reading. Richard Rutter brought it into the digital age (now also as a book). There’s also betterwebtype and ALA/Jason Santa Maria’s On Web Typography.
There are also lots of CSS kits for web typography baselines, e.g. Gutenberg, sassline, type-scale, modular scale, grid lover … and you’ll find many more.
