No, but I could write some tutorials on the theories behind it. I've never found typography tutorials (that arent utter shit) on the webs. Most of the stuff I learned from is in books.

That would be nice. Could you give a brief opinion on how you should go about typography. Sorry for the vagueness but I really don't know much about it >.>

Well. I've said this in other threads. Before you do stuff like what I've done, waaay before, you must learn and memorise the 10 Golden Rules. Moreover, you must be able to execute the 10 golden rules with absolute perfection. So concentrate on those. they may be a bit boring but every typographer keeps them in mind even when they're throwing them to the four winds.

Other than that just buy books such as 'The 10 commandments of Typography' 'The Barnbrook Bible' 'Stop Stealing Sheep' 'The Art of Looking sideways'. All of these things will inform your later rulebreaking :)

Mad typo! Long back when i first heard the term typography, i tried doing this, and failed miserably. geniusly executed.

Updated slightly to make the main text smaller for desktops and killed a typo:

Pure beautiful! It looks so professional, like some kind of poster :D

A tut of some kind would be more than welcome soap ^u^

No. I won't show you how to do this. I'll tell you why.

I wont show you how to go about making this sort of thing until you've first learned to memorise and execute the rules of typography. The above is hideous rule-breaking of this rules and it would be pointless for me to show you how to break the rules unless you know WHY you're breaking the rules and what those rules are.

It's the same with most tutorials on the internet, especially the C4D ones. They show you how to make some fancy abstract render, but never give you any information about the rules, so you just regurgitate and modify it in a mechanical process without knowing why you're doing it.

When I can see some work from ya'llz that shows me you understand the rules of typography, I'll show you how to break'um perfectly. I'm not being an asshole here, I'm just trying to help you become better designers/typographers by giving you all of the information about what you want me to show you, rather than just give you a mechanical process to follow that you wont understand fully.
