Two ideas on that:
1. when type becomes art it's less type looking and more visual (it should still be readable though)
2. when you take a font, see how much of it you can subtract before it becomes illegible
Examples links of those ideas:
Logotype for Eyeglasses manufacturer, Tokyo, Japan by Tomato, UK
The Designers Republic by blog.eyemagazine.com
LUSH Magazine redesigned by Paul Sych I'm interesting in advertising type and signage stuff that is more minimal and simple, that makes the world of reading a lot easier.
Here's some more examples where the type doesn't scream at you, instead it's part of the design:
The Designers Republic
Brody@Rocket Poster, Neville Brody
Neville Brody, Research Studios
