(in no particular order)

http://www.thedesignencyclopedia.org/
http://www.typographi.com/

EDIT//

since you guys brought them up, (although I rarely use them and actually hate them very much) this is the only site I get 'free fonts' from.

http://www.abstractfonts.com

it give you a complete character chart so you can see what characters are missing. (we all know free fonts are notorious for not including numbers / punctuation / upper AND lower case / etc.) and this site has some really 'abstract' (go figure) typefaces that work perfect for headlines.
