I think you are on the right track, my best advice would be to keep reading book son typography. Go to amazon.com and such and look for some books you find interesting. I would first study traditional typefaces and then learn which type faces are good for web, print, books, large sizes. Start learning which fonts should be used when and learn the meanings behind different fonts.
Many fonts have a historical context and that historical context can be used to enhance your designs.
Just keep reading and see what other designers do with type and you will do great!
