Although many organizations have designers on staff who take care of the aesthetic side of application development, it's often the case that developers get tasked with choosing fonts and layouts for applications. It's been my experience that most developers know little or nothing about typography, so results can be mixed.
Here's a two-hour typography course for developers from the freeCodeCamp.
You will learn how to choose a typeface, what to look for when laying out type, how to create typographic hierarchy, how to layout type, and how to create responsive typography.
It's a good introduction to the subject and would be appropriate both for developers and technical writers who have to produce online documentation.
