Just noting that I'm happy to pick up this tutorial but didn't want to assign myself yet and leave it open for anyone who wants to take it on. It'd be a nice shorter tutorial for anyone who wants something lightweight.
I'll go ahead an pick this one up since we didn't have any takers. :)
Draft will be here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gy5jUGQjvqOCsR_eLCqYfKc6cC_ccl77cAUT4picO-M/edit?usp=sharing
The first draft of this one is ready to review at any time.
@justintadlock I reviewed it and only had some minor opinionated correction 😄 I also tested the code examples and ran into an oddity... See my comment on the Google Doc.
Other than that, all good
This looks great @justintadlock. I added a few comments to the doc.

Greetings @justintadlock - under the heading
Question: Do you think it would be a good idea to include licensing information here?
For instance
All of these could have licensing restrictions that end-users and themers need to know about...

No, my post is just focused on using the API. It would be up to developers (or their legal representation) to decipher/understand the licensing terms of any particular third-party project they want to use.

I see, that's the general approach WordPress takes I suppose - "This is not legal advice." 😆
That's actually something that's going to come up in my type post 5 — where to get good type. The new Monotype subscription has some tiers that let us download, and the reality is that while we do prefer people use open-source typefaces, and people can use their own, I have saved a frolicking fortune with that $200/year Monotype subscription. It includes a lot of small foundries along with the very biggest, so it's even curtailed the number of times I have to deal with Adobe's hosted solution (where you still have to write the CSS for Every. Single. Selector. if you want your type to work in Safari and on mobile).
